The president who led the United States through the end of the Cold War was George H.W. Bush. The end of the Cold War, marked by the dissolution of the Soviet Union, came under the leadership of Bush and his predecessor, Ronald Reagan. However, it was during Bush's presidency that significant events like the signing of the Strategic Arm Reduction Treaty (START) occurred. Moreover, Bush's approach helped maintain the relationship with Gorbachev that Reagan had started. His refusal to gloat about the USSR's downfall was significant in managing the relationship between the two superpowers during this sensitive period. By January 1992, the Commonwealth of Independent States had formed, signalling the official end of the Cold War.
