"Peace Through Strength"
"Peace through strength" is a concept popularized by President Ronald Reagan, emphasizing that a strong military deterrent can prevent conflict and maintain peace. Reagan believed that a robust defense capability would discourage aggression from adversaries, thereby fostering stability and security. This approach contrasts with a strategy of appeasement, suggesting that demonstrating power can lead to diplomatic advantages and ultimately preserve peace.

The Reagan administration had dualities to its Cold War containment and world peace strategies. On one hand the Reagan administration was committed to expensive and sophisticated strategic nuclear weapons and defence systems such as the B1 bomber and the SDI ('Star Wars'). On the other hand Reagan was a strong voice towards ending the Iron (and Berlin) Wall dividing Europe since 1945. Other peace and disarmament issues included summits where strategic arms reduction were discussed.
