In the 1980's Ronald Reagan led a military program that the USSR couldn't keep up with, but this is just a minor reason. The big reason was because Mikhail Gorbachev (Last Soviet leader) tried to mix their kind of communism with democracy. But once the people were given democracy, it was harder and harder to control the country. Soon the Republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were free. Then the Ukraine gained freedom. Then finally a rebellion overthrew the Soviet regime in 1991.
