2. For each of the presidents during the Cold War, decide whether they dealt with the Cold War through FOREIGN policy or DOMESTIC policy or BOTH and explain why in THREE sentences for each President.
Truman: President Truman dealt with the Cold war in both policies because he used the strategy of a hydrogen bomb to counter the soviets. Putting his country ahead in the arms race. Yet also raising the ceiling for dangerous
weapons to use against his own.
Eisenhower: President Eisenhower dealt with the COld war in a Domestic policy. He was the cause of the Eisenhower doctrine. Which helped his country cut back on military costs.
Kennedy: Kennedy dealt with the cold war in a foreign policy. He ordered substantial increases in American intercontinental ballistic missile forces, added five new army divisions, and increased the nation's air power and military reserves
.
Johnson: President Johnson grappled with the Cold War through both foreign and domestic policies. He escalated U.S. involvement in Vietnam as part of his foreign policy approach while implementing domestic programs, like the Great Society initiatives, to address social issues influenced by the global struggle against communism.
Nixon: Nixon primarily tackled the Cold War through foreign policy, pursuing détente with the Soviet Union and China via strategic diplomacy like SALT talks, while his domestic focus centered more on managing the Vietnam War and its impact, rather than directly addressing Cold War dynamics within the U.S.
Ford: President Ford primarily addressed the Cold War through foreign policy, emphasizing détente with the Soviet Union and signing the Helsinki Accords to promote peace in Europe. Domestically, his focus centered on economic recovery, with less direct attention to policies specifically aimed at addressing Cold War dynamics within the U.S.
Carter: President Carter dealt with the Cold War through both foreign and domestic policy. His foreign policy approach included a focus on human rights and advocating for nuclear arms control, evident in the signing of the SALT II treaty. Domestically, Carter's energy policies aimed to reduce dependence on foreign oil, aligning with his
broader approach to strengthen the U.S. strategically amidst Cold War tensions.
Reagan: President Reagan dealt with the Cold War through both foreign and domestic policy. His foreign policy stance, encapsulated in the "Reagan Doctrine," escalated the arms race with the Soviet Union while supporting anti-communist movements globally. Domestically, Reagan's economic policies, known as "Reaganomics," aimed
to revitalize the U.S. economy and strengthen it against the perceived Soviet threat by emphasizing military spending and technological advancement.
Bush: President George H.W. Bush navigated the tail end of the Cold War primarily through foreign policy. He oversaw a significant shift in global dynamics, skillfully managing the dissolution of the Soviet Union and fostering diplomatic relations with former Soviet bloc countries. Domestically, Bush focused on economic policies, but the core of his presidency revolved around shaping the post-Cold War world order through international relations rather than domestic initiatives directly tied to Cold War dynamics.
