Iran-Contra Scandal

Reagan & Gorbachev work to end the Cold War Reagan refuses to cut SDI & other defense programs – wants to negotiate from position of strength [Summit Meetings from 1985-1988] Gorbachev tried Glasnost (openness) & Perestroika (restructuring) to quell dissatisfaction in USSR but largely failed and USSR disintegrated in late 80s

Reagan & “winning” the Cold War "Tear Down this Wall" 1987
