The Collapse of Communism• Late 1980s – new leadership relaxes the grip on satellite states

• November 1989, Germans on both sides bring down the Berlin Wall

• Germany reunites and former satellite states hold free elections

• Soviet Union began to collapse and, eventually, all 15 republics

became independent states.

Newly Independent States• After 1990, political borders changed again

• Most of Europe made a smooth transition out of communism

• Example: 1993, Czechoslovakia transitioned into the Czech

Republic and Republic of Slovakia – called the Velvet Divorce• Some were more violent

• Example: 1991, Yugoslavia – ethnic tension erupted and

hundreds of thousands died in clashes between the Bosnians,

Serbs, and others

• Ethnic cleansing – the forced removal of a minority ethnic

group from a territory.

ChangesintheBalanceofPower• The collapse of communism and the Soviet Union drastically changed

the balance of power in Europe and the world

• Some countries joined the European Union (EU) and the North

Atlantic Trade Organization (NATO), the western military alliance

formed in 1949 to oppose Soviet military power in Europe

• The balance of economic, political, and military power tilted toward

Western Europe and the United States
