CONCLUSIONS
Despite Reagan's inflammatory anti-USSR rhetoric, he was opposed to military conflict with USSR - intervened in smaller conflicts such as El Salvador and Nicaragua
Reagan believed in military strength as the way forward - 'although he presented his military expansion as a drive to regain US margin of safety, it actually represented a bid to re-establish strategic authority'
Reagan's rhetoric and aggressive stance made the Cold War more polarised after the reduced tension of détente - 'good vs evil'
