美國歷史上的今天 里根主義 每天一篇《美國歷史上的今天》，提煉和總結(jié)歷史在今天發(fā)生的重要事件：誰，在哪里，什么時候，做了什么，這件事為什么重要、以及在寫關(guān)于什么主題的論文的時候可以作為潛在論據(jù)引用。 每天半分鐘，輕松積累史實(shí) 為AP歷史拿5分打下堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ) When: Feb 6, 1985 What: President Ronald Reagan in his State of the Union address defined some of the key elements in his foreign policy, establishing what came to be known as the “Reagan Doctrine.” Why significant: The doctrine was part of the Reagan administration's overall strategy to end the Cold War, designed to diminish Soviet influence. In his speech, Reagan pronounced that, “Freedom is not the sole prerogative of a chosen few; it is the universal right of all God’s children." America’s "mission" was to “nourish and defend freedom and democracy.” More specifically, Reagan declared that, “We must stand by our democratic allies. And we must not break faith with those who are risking their lives—on every continent, from Afghanistan to Nicaragua—to defy Soviet-supported aggression and secure rights which have been ours from birth.” He concluded, “Support for freedom fighters is self-defense.” The doctrine served as the foundation for the Reagan administration’s support of “freedom fighters” around the world. Under the Reagan Doctrine, the U.S. provided overt and covert aid to anti-communist guerrillas and resistance movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
