      How did the end of the Soviet Union's control on East Europe lead to a big change in the map of the world?     

    Answer:

                      The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was dissolved on 26th December, 1991. This dissolution accelerated the process of reviving of democracies in several countries. Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and several other countries became free from the influence of Soviet Union during 1989-90. Finally when the Soviet Union disintegrated, all the 15 republics comprising the USSR (Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, etc) emerged as independent countries. Most of them became democracies. The membership of the USSR in the Security Council and all other UN organs is now being continued by the Russian Federation. The other 14 independent states were all admitted to the UN. Thus, the breaking up of the USSR led to a big change in the political map of the world.
