President Ronald Reagan had a stiff stance against the Soviet Union. He labeled the country as an "evil empire" and publicly challenged the Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachov to "tear down" the Berlin Wall.

Reagan shifted the country's policy from "detente" to "rollback". In other words, it directed resources in order to enter a direct arms race and make all the efforts possible in order to guarantee a transition in power from Socialism to Liberalism in foreign regimes.
