The 2000 presidential election was between republican George Busch, son of former President George H.W. Busch. He ran against the then Vice President Al Gore. The final deciding factor in who won the election would be decided by Florida's electoral votes. However, the votes in Florida were so close that a recount was necessary, and it took some time for Florida to make it's decision on who got the popular vote. Busch ultimately won the election after the US Supreme Court case handled the situation.

Ended in 1991. During 1989 and 1990, the Berlin Wall came down,  borders opened, and free elections ousted Communist regimes everywhere in eastern Europe. In late 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved into its component republics. Mikhail Gorbachev took over as the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985. Gorbachev was a revolutionary leader for the USSR, as he was the first to promote liberalization of the political landscape and capitalist elements into the economy. The USSR despite facing massive economic difficulties, was involved in a costly arms race with the USA under president Ronald Reagan.
