Ronald Reagan became 1962 member of the republican party, after he had been course-bent before rather the democrats. In the presidency election fight of 1964supported Reagan the candidate of the republicans, Barry Goldwater.

Its employment appreciated California businessmen, by supporting Reagan with the choice to the governor 1966. Reagan supported the California economy, which took a considerable upswing in its term of office with his politics. Since it adjusted also the household of the California Federal State, was its re-election 1970 against Jesse balance spring no problem. During its term of office the protests increased in particular against the Viet Nam war in California in the universities. It answered to these protests, which were regarded of him and its surrounding field as unrests, with the help of the secret service CIA. Here z became. T. the fundamental rights guaranteed by the condition of the USA (additives 1-10 of the condition, which the so-called Bill OF Rights forms) repealed set. Likewise became the Pressefreiheit, the post office secret and other one the basis of a democraticSociety screen end of rights repealed set.
It did not place itself to a renewed re-election any longer, because it wanted to apply for the office for president. However it failed party-internally with its candidacy because of office holder Gerald Ford. With the presidency election it defeated 1980but 1980 the luckless acting president of the democrats, Jimmy Carter, and became to 20. January 1981 as 40. President of the United States swears in. Its vice-president became George Bush senior.
Its assumption of office released optimism in the economy . That Dollar and the share quotations rose. It lowered the taxes and appeared in the east west conflict as hard liner. At home it preached the ideals of the American family and the liberty.
to 30. March 1981 it becamewith an assassination attempt heavily hurts. John Hinckley, Jr. shot at Reagan, since it wanted to impress the young actress Jodie Foster. It wounded the press secretary James Brady, the Secret service with the assassination attempt Reagan, - agents Tim McCarthy and the policemanThomas Delanty. The assassin Hinckley was explained in June 1982 by a court in Washington for irresponsible and instructed into a psychiatric hospital.
Reagan took however few days later the office business. Reagan found in both parties trailers andit succeeded to it to bring its Reagonomics in such a way specified by the congress. Reagonomics was called: Lowering of taxes, simplification of the control system, fewer obstacles for the industry, cuts in the budget with social tasks, development of the military armament. An important principle behind its reforms was „the Trickle down theory “. Afterwards particularly are reductions of taxes for enterprises economiceconomics, since these then more invest and reduce so unemployment, which leads in the long run even to higher tax receipts (Laffer curve).
The reduction of taxes politics and the strong increase of the public expenditures, in particularfor armaments, however first unwanted effects showed: the US economy threatened itself to overheat, the inflation rate rose 1982 to 5,8 per cent. The Fed reacted to with increases in interest which led to a recession. Unemployment rose to twelve million, Unternehmensgewinne decreased/went back.But the economy recovered, unemployment sank and the inflation was again dammed. Nevertheless the budgetary deficit of the United States rose, particularly by the extreme military expenditure.
foreign policy
the foreign policy of Reagans was not only a policythe strength, but it was predominantly coined/shaped of his anticommunism. Reagan was convinced to want to lead the world to liberty and democracy. It could telegen and warm up with outstanding Rhetorik the hearts and feelings of many Americans that it those Soviet Union, which designated realm of the bad one” in such a way at that time from it “, ideologically and militarily to provoke and the Soviet-communist influence in the third world with all means would fight.
It gave the central condition up of the policy of detente, i.e. the approximate militaryEquality of the superpowers the USA and Soviet Union. Already in the election campaign it demanded an increase of the military expenditure. The moreover one was Reagan decided to co-operate in the third world with nearly each regime which stated from itself, communist to fight (S. Kirkpatrick doctrine).
A majority of the additional defence expenditure flowed into the so-called Strategic Defense initiative (SDI, called in the vernacular also “star Wars”), that at his time not realized, however under George W. Bush was seized. A goal of this program was it, thoseTo protect the USA from attacks of hostile atomic rockets and to waive thus the classical equilibrium of the fright to favour of the USA. Even if SDI became operational never, it led nevertheless in the Soviet Union to substantial disconcertion.
After Reagan in its first term of officea new round of the arms race had rung in, which could not follow the Soviet Union due to its economic difficulties in the long run any longer, started it in its second term of office several disarmament initiatives. Together with Gorbachev the reduction of the medium-range missiles was decided.
To which extent thoseReagan armements policy for the end of communism in Eastern Europe contributed, is disputed until, it today depends on the political attitude of the respective researchers and researcher inside. Safe it is anyhow that e.g. its in Eastern Bloc by radio Free Europe well-known speeches humanswith a new hope for change filled and Reagan until today by many one admires there.
