User: was new political freedoms lead to protests against Soviet government an effeect or cause of the collapse of the cold war
Assistant:  TheThe new political freedoms that led to protests against the Soviet government were an **effect** of the collapse of the Cold War. 

As Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev introduced reforms like **glasnost** (openness) and **perestroika** (restructuring) in the mid-1980s, these policies allowed more freedom of expression and political participation. This, in turn, encouraged public protests and demands for greater change, which contributed to the eventual collapse of Soviet control and the Cold War ending. So, the new political freedoms were both a result of reform efforts during the Cold War's decline and a factor that accelerated its collapse.
