Answer 1

A change in Soviet leadership

Step-by-step explanation:

In Reagan’s second term, Michael Gorbachev became the new leader of the Soviet Union, bringing new reforms that eventually led to the end of Communism. At first Reagan was skeptical of Gorbachev, but after meeting with him and seeing the changes he was bringing to the Soviet Union, his attitude and approach towards them positively changed.
