Outline of the Cold War
End of the Cold War – While many observers state the 1989 Malta Summit was the end of the Cold War, it was December 1991 before the Presidents of the United States and the Soviet Union formally recognised the conflict's end, with the Soviet Union also being dissolved at that time. Some key events leading up to the end include:
Soviet Union–United States relations
In December 1989, both the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union [[Malta Summit|declared]] the Cold War over, and in 1991, the two were partners in the [[Gulf War]] against [[Iraq]], a longtime Soviet ally. On 31 July 1991, the [[START I]] treaty cutting the number of deployed nuclear warheads of both countries was signed by Soviet General Secretary [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] and U.S. President [[George H. W. Bush|George Bush]]. However, many consider the Cold War to have truly ended in late 1991 with the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]].
