Ronald Reagan:

  • proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)
  • greatly increased defense spending

The Federal government's overall size and budget got larger, not smaller, under Reagan.  And it was Mikhail Gorbachev in the USSR that proposed <em>glasnost </em>and <em>perestroika.</em>

More details about Reagan's defense spending:

When President Ronald Reagan came into office in 1981, he took a hard stance toward the Soviet Union.  Where previous leaders of the nations had pursued detente and nuclear arms reduction, Reagan spoke of the Soviet Union as the "evil empire" and ramped up American military preparedness.  He authorized a program to spend over 200 billion dollars over five years on bombers, cruise missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and more.

Then in 1983, Reagan proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), which was a plan for a space-based missile defense system against any threat of Soviet missiles.  Sometimes people referred to Reagan's plan as "Star Wars."  More than 200 billion dollars were devoted to the Strategic Defense Initiative over the next four decades after the program was started.

Ronald Reagan "sought to cut the size of the Federal government" and increased defense spending. This was due mostly to the fact that the United States was involved in the Cold War.

How did the geography of China affect the development of early civilization there?  
irina [24]
As noted by the other Brainly user's response here, early Chinese civilization developed between the Yangtze River and the Huang He River (or Yellow River), because the plain between the rivers is fertile, allowing for the development of agriculture.  It's also worth noting that the these two rivers extend for hundreds of miles from west to east before reaching the sea.  This facilitated trade and transportation on the rivers.  It also allowed Chinese rulers to maintain control and communication across the wide expanse of main Chinese territory.

Also worth noting would be the mountains and deserts and ocean that set China off from other lands.  Large mountain ranges exist in the south and west regions of China -- such as the Himalayan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Tianshan Mountains.  The Gobi Desert sits in the northern part of China, and the Pacific Ocean is to the east.  These various geographic features set China off from other lands, so that civilization there  developed in its own unique ways, apart from outside influence.
