On this day in 1985, in his State of the Union address, President Ronald Reagan defined some of the key concepts of his foreign policy, establishing what came to be known as the “Reagan Doctrine.” The doctrine served as the foundation for the Reagan administration’s support of “freedom fighters around the globe. It established a U.S. foreign policy of supporting anti-communist insurgents and movements to “roll back” Soviet influence worldwide, particularly in Afghanistan, Nicaragua, and Angola throughout the mid-to-late 1980s. The policy was the centerpiece of U.S. foreign policy from 1985 until the end of the Cold War in 1991.
