Source E is a cartoon published to convince soviets how unhappy the ancestors would feel. this can be seen from how the past communist leaders who have passed on, such as lenin and stalin, is looking down from communist paradise at a coffin labelled communism, saying ,' I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES! '. This shows that they are befuddled at the fact that communism has died off and that their efforts to spread the ideology were wasted.

The source shows communism in a coffin, which tells me that communism has died. Since communism has died, there will be no more war between different ideologies and hence, contributed to the end of cold war.

3. Gorbachev's policies failed to reform the economy and which did not make any headway for Gorbachev. The introduction of co-operations resulted in the communist government losing control over economic conditions where the relaxed control over goods and services led to an increase in number of unprofitable enterprises that needs the government support. Hence this caused Gorbachev policies to kill off communism.

the message of the source is to inform the people from East Europe that Gorbachev gave countries under communism freedom except Soviet Union themselves. He is allowing these countries to make their own decisions. This tells me that Gorbachev does not want to be as strict on communism as compared to in the past.

This has contributed to the end of cold war as the S.U. status as a superpower was diminished and many countries were allowed to make their own decisions.

his policies has allowed the countries to make their own decisions and the eastern European states have been liberated from communism

The main message of the source is to convince Americans that the cold war has ended. This can be seen from the source which shows Soviet Union behind bars and its satellite states being freed. This tells me that the Soviet Union and its communist ideology has dissolved, and that the USA has no more competition so that the Americans no longer see SU as a threat

2. Why does the event depicted in this source contribute towards the end of the Cold War?
With the Soviet Union dissolving, this indicates that there is no more competition between SU and USA, marking the end of the Cold War

3. How might Gorbachev's policies have contributed to this?
Under Gorbachev's Foreign policy reforms, he believed that Eastern European states should be allowed to handle their political affairs without Soviet influence and interference. So, Eastern European states have been liberated of their communist ruling and given the freedom to decide what type of ideology they want to have.

The message of source C is to convince the people that Reagan and Gorbachev was successful in improving their relationship. This can be seen from the source, showing Reagan and Gorbachev arm wrestling, and then finally shaking their hands. This tells me that Reagan and Gorbachev turned from enemies to friends, showing that they have a better relationship, which leads to the end of cold war.

There is lesser tension between USA and SU.

The transparency of Glasnost led to a thaw in relations, which saw a de-ideologization of Soviet policy and a commitment to disarmament, such as signing the INF Treaty.
