President Reagan took a proactive approach in the arms race during the Cold War by advocating for a significant buildup of the U.S. nuclear arsenal while also pursuing arms reduction talks with the Soviet Union. He initiated the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), aiming to develop a missile defense system to protect against nuclear attacks. Reagan's administration ultimately shifted toward diplomacy, leading to landmark agreements such as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 1987, which reduced nuclear weapons in Europe. His strategies contributed to a thawing of U.S.-Soviet relations and the eventual end of the Cold War.
