Explain the point of view reflected in this speech regarding one of the following: Communism US foreign policy Ending the Cold War. the speech is President Reagan at Brandenburg

Answer 1

Answer:

The Brandenburg Gate Speech, delivered on June 12, 1987 by President Reagan, was the most significant speech at the end of the Cold War. There, President Reagan addressed Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the Soviet Union, directly, asking him directly to tear down the wall that separated East Germany from West Germany, thus ending the separation of both parts of the city of Berlin. But this speech had behind it a much deeper ideological baggage, in which President Reagan urged the Soviet Union to cease its actions and surrender, given the demonstrated inability to maintain communism on a global scale that the Soviets had demonstrated.

Thus, 2 years later, the wall was demolished and the German reunification took place, being one of the final episodes of the Soviet defeat in the Cold War.
