When he took office in 1980, the action that President Reagan took regarding the cold war was that he sought a new approach known as "peace through strength."

Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 as the 40th President of the United States. His term started in January 1981 and ended in January 1989. As part of his foreign policy, and specifically regarding the USSR, Reagan used a term coined by Roman Emperors: "peace through strength." Reagan had the idea that peace could be better promoted by strengthening the military. He thought that having a more powerful military, other countries - including the Soviet Union - could be fearful of messing with the US. That is why Reagan invested millions of dollars in his "Star Wars" defense program.
