It was the first time in history where the world was on the brink of nuclear war. No longer did soldiers need to be involved in a conflict, now countries had the nuclear capabilities to destroy each other. what stopped them was the concept of mutually assured destruction which meant that if one country fired the other would and they would both be wiped out.

Answer:

(Im sorry it isnt 3-5 sentences! But just look over it and create a paragraph of your own with the information given.)

Nonetheless, Mr. Reagan's Presidency has altered the tone and texture of government by changing the focus of political debate from solving social problems to cutting budgets and restricting Federal activities. One important measure of his political effect is that mainstream Democrats have taken up his longstanding assault on Federal deficits. Another is that state and local politicians no longer look to Washington for new initiatives and funding.

In his inaugural address after taking the oath of office on January 20, Ronald Reagan called upon Americans to "begin an era of national renewal." In response to the serious problems facing the country, both foreign and domestic, he asserted his familiar campaign phrase: "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." He hoped that America "will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not have freedom."

Arguably the first conservative U.S. president in over 50 years, Reagan advanced domestic policies that featured a lessening of federal government responsibility in solving social problems, reducing restrictions on business, and implementing tax cuts. Internationally, Reagan demonstrated a fierce opposition to the spread of communism throughout the world and a strong distrust of the Soviet Union, which in 1983 he labeled an "evil empire." He championed a rearmed and strong military and was especially supportive of the MX missile system and the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") program.
