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.

Palabras clave : United States; USSR; Ronald Reagan; Mikhail Gorbachev.
