Strategic Defense Initiative & The Cold War
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. The extent to which the Strategic Defense Initiative had a role in the negotiations between President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Union Premier Mikhail Gorbachev is great and far-reaching. Attempting to regain world peace by averting the power struggles between the United States and Russia, it was imperative that Reagan establish a significant means by which to ease the political tension. Indeed, the Strategic Defense Initiative - or Star Wars, as it was also known - took great strides as a high-tech astro-shield against nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles that originated from the Soviet Union. It was directly because of Reagan's considerable show of power that Gorbachev reconsidered his nation's political stance toward the United States. The writer discusses how the Strategic Defense Initiative was instrumental in Cold War negotiations between Reagan and Gorbachev. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
