President Reagan fought communism through a combination of military, economic, and diplomatic strategies. He escalated the arms race with the Soviet Union by increasing defense spending and promoting the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Additionally, he supported anti-communist movements globally, such as the Contras in Nicaragua and the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. Reagan also engaged in diplomatic efforts, notably through summits with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which ultimately contributed to a reduction in nuclear tensions and the eventual end of the Cold War.
