📜 What This Video Covers: The Day Reagan & Gorbachev Ended a Nuclear Standoff
On December 8, 1987, a historic milestone in Cold War diplomacy was reached as U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed the groundbreaking INF Treaty. This landmark arms-control agreement marked the first time in history that two nuclear superpowers agreed to eliminate an entire class of nuclear weapons.
In this video, we explore the tense context of the Cold War, marked by an arms race and the looming threat of nuclear annihilation. Discover how public anti-nuclear movements, Gorbachev's reforms like glasnost and perestroika, and Reagan’s evolving diplomacy laid the groundwork for the treaty.
Learn about the specifics of the INF Treaty, which banned intermediate-range missiles such as the American Pershing II and Soviet SS-20, and the unprecedented verification process that ensured compliance. By 1991, nearly 2,700 missiles had been dismantled, setting a new standard for transparency in arms control.
Finally, we examine the legacy of the INF Treaty as a turning point in U.S.-Soviet relations, paving the way for future agreements like the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Despite challenges and its eventual dissolution in 2019, the INF Treaty remains a powerful symbol of diplomacy overcoming division.
