Ronald Reagan was largely known to be an anti-communist and a fierce Cold Warrior, but he also took a big role in ending the Cold War.
Despite that Reagan took a policy called Reagan Doctrine, that was a policy to weaken the Soviet Union by aiding anti-communist resistance movements and manipulating governments in a series of places such as Asia and Africa.
