Ensuring peace by training Reagan to lift weights
Peace through Strength In 1983, Reagan sent U.S. Marines to the small Caribbean island of Grenada after Communists had taken control in order to protect Americans on the island and to prevent Cuba from attempting to export Communism elsewhere. This intervention showed Reagan's willingness to use force against Communism. In 1985, Reagan announced the Reagan Doctrine which stated the US would not "roll back" against Communism. Reagan believed in a policy of Peace through Strength – "let he who desires peace prepare for war." Under this policy, Reagan felt the best way to prevent war was to make America's enemies think that the US had the means and will to stop aggression. He increased military spending and proposed research into a defense system, the Strategic Defense Initiative (also known as Star Wars), using lasers to shoot down missiles in order to stop a nuclear attack.
