![Page 69: The Cold War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815ed8550346895dcd7388/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

1. Giving into public pressure, the old Communists would step down in favor of younger ‘reform-minded’ Communists
2. These new leaders would agree to let other political parties to exist and compete for seats in the country’s legislature
3. In free, multiparty elections, member of non-Communist parties would win over Communist party members
Most of the ‘satellites’ of the USSR began to revolt and break away following a similar pattern:
By 1989 the first two stages of this process were peacefully accomplished in Hungary, Bulgaria, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia

Some leaders spoke out against Gorbachev, while others called for even more democratic and capitalist reforms.In 1991 hard-line communists tried to overthrow Gorbachev in a military coup; the coup failed but it weakened his rule.By the end of 1991, most of the republics in the USSR had declared their independence and the USSR ceased to exist.
Unexpected Results:Rapid changes brought about by glasnost and perestroika brought about economic turmoil
