Discuss the changes that took place in U.S.-Soviet relations during the Reagan-Bush years
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Reagan began his first term by pursuing a Cold War policy toward the Soviet Union. He proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative. In his second term he developed a working relationship with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Through summit meetings they agreed to reduce nuclear arsenals in Europe. Bush continued the policy of arms reduction. The START agreement (1991) reduced the number of long-range missiles on both sides. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, President Bush and Russia's Yeltsin in 1992 formally declared the Cold War over.
