The eight years of Ronald Reagan's presidency, from 1981 to 1989, were a time of unparalleled prosperity for most Americans. After a brief recession in 1981 through mid-1982, the Carter-era inflation rate was cut substantially. On the day of Reagan's inauguration, the Iranian revolutionary regime, that had been holding American diplomats hostage for a year and a half, released their hostages. The American arms buildup was so rapid that the Soviet Union came close to collapse trying to keep up, and the USSR did disintegrate two years after Reagan left office.
