Why did the United States increase military spending under the presidency of Ronald Reagan?

History
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Ronald Reagan persuaded Congress to fund many of the weapons systems later used in both Persian Gulf wars, either initiating the arms programs or accelerating work on those already in development.

Explanation:

Reagan presided over the biggest peacetime defense buildup in history, from high-tech weapons systems to larger training ranges and military pay increases. "It was his steady focus on the military, said supporters and analysts, that helped bring down the Soviet Union and expunge the malaise and hollowness that infected the American military during the 1970s."

Virty [35]
US Containment Policy is a foreign policy strategy created and executed by the US after WWII founding it’s first key purpose in the Truman Doctrine of 1947. President Harry Truman warned of the evils of communism<span> that threatened the democratic freedom of its people which like the US, the Soviet Union wanted a world modeled on their own country’s society and values. Even though the Soviet claimed they provided all citizens with economic and social rights, the US saw communism as a slave state that control the private life and thoughts of its citizens. A threat that violated both democratic rights and civil liberties of its citizens and therefore required the continued efforts of America to make sure that it did not spread to the United States and other nations that have not yet moved politically towards Soviet Union communism. As such, this Policy of Containment stated that the US would try to stop (contain) the spread of Communism by creating strategic alliances or support to help weak countries to resist Soviet advances.

2. WHY was this new freedom<br>'inconceivable" to African Americans ?​
Triss [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it does not refer to a specific moment or place in the history of the US, we can say that if it refers to President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, then his new freedom was 'inconceivable" to African Americans in the southern states until the Union Army won the American Civil War in 1865. However, although the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States happened in December 1865, the road to freedom for African Americans in the south was long to come. During Reconstruction, Jim Crow Laws and the Black Codes were southern legislations that limited freedom and the civil rights of Black people.
