Answer 1

Communism essentially collapsed throughout Eastern Europe in the late 80s, particularly in 1989 where several events occurred.

Solidarity gained control of the Polish parliament in 1989 eventually ending communist control of the country and was the start of a kind of domino effect in Eastern Europe that ripped through East Germany (fall of the Berlin Wall), Bulgaria, Romania (the end of Ceaucescu's dictatorship), and Czechoslovakia.
