Why It’s Important The 1980 s and 1990 s saw the end of the cold war and the collapse of the Soviet Union. People looked forward to a new era of peace. However, national and ethnic rivalries soon erupted around the world. Regional conflicts forced leaders to develop new rules for stopping aggression, or warlike acts, and intervening in the affairs of other nations. As the 2000 s opened, another threat came from groups that used violence against ordinary citizens to achieve political aims. It had become clear that nations needed to work together to solve these and other problems. 8 Click the Speaker On button to replay audio.
