Unable to maintain its Super Power status as set by the USA, the Soviet Empire was eventually bankrupted and busted by the late 80s.

The USA won the Cold War which culminated with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989.

Previously annexed by the Soviet Union and controlled by a communist party, Romania was now free to be an independent nation. Thanks in large part to the USA.
