Answer:
1989
Step-by-step explanation:
On 3 December 1989 the Cold War ‘officially’ ended when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev met with US president George Bush aboard a Soviet ship docked at Malta’s Marsaxlokk harbour.
The summit and joint press conference had the appearance of a friendly, diplomatic conclusion to a protracted conflict spanning four decades, nine American presidents, wars in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Berlin blockade.
