12/14 Bellringer 5+ sentences It has been said that one reason an age of exploration began in the 15 th century was that Spain and England needed a new world. They needed more land for their growing populations and more markets for their products. What is left to explore in the 21 st century? How does this new world compare to the one the Europeans explored more than 500 years ago?

Reagan & Foreign Policy Reagan wanted to restore U.S. foreign policy – Blamed Carter for allowing America’s international prestige & influence to fall – Increased military spending – Confronted challenges in the Middle East & in Latin America – And win the Cold War with the Soviet Union

Reagan intervened in Lebanon when violence broke out between Israelis & Arabs in 1982 But, anti-American hostility led a terrorist group to seize 6 U.S hostages in Iran in 1983 Reagan’s response was to “not negotiate with terrorists” Meanwhile…

…Reagan committed to fighting communism & maintaining order in Latin America In 1979, a communist group called the Sandinistas came to power in Nicaragua Congress denied Reagan’s plea to help Nicaraguan counter-revolutionaries (Contras) take back power

The Reagan administration developed a plan to solve both the problem in Iran & in Nicaragua The gov’t then gave money from the profits of the arms sales to anti- communist Contras in Nicaragua The gov’t illegally sold Iran weapons in exchange for the release of the 6 hostages (arms for hostages deal)

The Iran-Contra Affair Iran-Contra Affair In 1987, these illegal activities were discovered & the Iran-Contra Affair rocked the Reagan administration Reagan said he had no knowledge of the scandal & Oliver North admitted to running the operation behind the president’s back Reagan escaped from the scandal (“Teflon president”)

Reagan took a strong stand against communism and the Soviet Union His most ambitious plan was a massive defensive system of satellites called the Strategic Defense Initiative (“star wars” program)

In the 1980s, communist nations (including the USSR) were beginning to face economic problems In 1985 Mikhail Gorbachev took charge of the USSR and began creating moderate reforms to save Russia Perestroika: Introducing moderate capitalism & allowing some business & property ownership Glasnost: Freedom of speech & competitive elections Reagan was able to work with Gorbachev to reduce Cold War tensions

Conclusions Reagan’s conservative policies & strong foreign policy changed America: – Reagan ended stagflation, restored the military, renewed family values, & won the Cold War – But, Reagan’s policies reduced assistance programs, ignored social problems, & tripled the national debt
