Answer:

During Reagan's term, militarism was exacerbated, and it had several impacts on the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first impact is that military spending in the US grew a lot during Reagan's administration. This was to be expected because increasing military spending was one of the main campaign proposals of Reagan.

A second impact is that the U.S. became involved in several military interventions, particularly in Grenada, Afghanistan and Nicaragua.

Finally, a third impact is that it increased Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union, and contributed in part to its collapse.
