Answer 2

Reagan's foreign policy was based on having a stronger military than the Soviet Union.

During the era of Reagan's presidency, the United States was still competing against the Soviet Union for influence and political power on an international scale. With this in mind, Reagan wanted to develop an extremely strong military just in case the United States and Soviet Union began fighting each other.

The Cold War era resulted in the United States and Soviet Union being on the brink of war several times without actually fighting. However, being prepared for this possible situation influenced President's like Reagan to greatly increase spending on defense and military personnel.
