Foreign PolicyForeign PolicyThe Foreign policy of the Reagan Administration was the foreign policy of the United States from 1981 to 1989 under President Ronald Reagan during his Administration.
It was characterized by a strategy of "peace through strength" followed by a warming of relations with the
Soviet Union, once the reformer Mikhail Gorbachev rose to power, and a peaceful end to the Cold War.
As part of the policies that became known as the "Reagan Doctrine," the United States also offered
financial and logistics support to the anti-communist opposition in central Europe and took an increasingly
hard line against communist governments in Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, and Nicaragua
