How central to ending the Cold War was President Reagan’s foreign policy?

History

Alexandra [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration from 1981 to 1989 was characterized by a strategy of “peace through strength.” Critics label Reagan’s policies as aggressive, imperialistic, and “warmongering”; however, these policies were supported by leading American conservatives who argued they were necessary to protect U.S. security interests. While Ronald Reagan worked to restrict the influence of the federal government in people’s lives, he simultaneously pursued interventionist policies abroad as part of a global Cold War strategy. Eager to cure the United States of “Vietnam Syndrome,” he increased the American stockpile of weapons and aided anti-Communist groups in the Caribbean and Central America. As part of the policies that became known as the Reagan Doctrine, the United States also offered financial and logistical support to the anti-communist opposition in central Europe, and took an increasingly hard line against socialist and communist governments in Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua.Reagan escalated the Cold War during his presidency, accelerating a reversal from the policy of détente that began in 1979, following the Soviet war in Afghanistan. Reagan ordered a massive buildup of the United States Armed Forces and implemented new policies toward the Soviet Union. He revived the B-1 Lancer program that had been canceled by the Carter administration, and began producing the MX missile. In response to Soviet deployment of the SS-20, Reagan oversaw the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO’s) deployment of the Pershing missile in West Germany.

Which statement best summarizes the result of the withdrawal of federal protection during Reconstruction in South Carolina? Once
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

After federal troops left South Carolina, old Confederate military units were reformed under different names.

Explanation:

Following the withdrawal of federal troops from the southern states of the United States after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, the Democrats regained power in the south. Thus, violations of the rights of African Americans were reinstated, such as the literacy tests that prohibited them from voting, or the Jim Crow Laws that took away a large number of civil and political rights.

Furthermore, in the southern states, anti-African-American armed movements began to take shape, made up of former Confederate soldiers who, through violence, sought to subdue these people, with the aim of expelling them from these territories. These groups carried out their activities clandestinely, to avoid the control of the federal government, but they had the full support of the democratic state governments. Thus, groups such as the Klu Klux Klan or the Red Shirts began to carry out paramilitary and terrorist activities against African-Americans and, to a lesser extent, Republican voters.
