Abstract
SA, Tiago Moreira de. The United States and the end of the Cold War. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2014, n.43, pp.15-29. ISSN 1645-9199.
As Henry Kissinger wrote, «The Cold War began at a time when America waited a time of peace. It ended at the time that America was preparing for a new era of conflict». This article examines the causes which led to the end of the East-West conflict, when nothing could anticipate it, and the role played in this context by the United States.
Keywords : United States; USSR; Ronald Reagan; Mikhail Gorbachev.
