The Evolution Of U.s. Foreign Policy (1970s-90s) And The Collapse Of The Soviet Union

The 20th century beginning of the 60's the Vietnam War,the United States led directly to the decline in the 70's.At this historical background,the start contraction of the United States forces,"Nixon Doctrine" came into being.Then to anti-Communist U.S.President Richard Nixon started,want to do everything possible to destroy the Soviet Union.Reality no option but to make the hard-line president of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union engaged in easing the situation,the Nixon Doctrine contraction strategy.This is rivalry with the Soviet Union more than another form.The United States does not want to share the world with the Soviet Union."I hugged his rival,but the aim will be strangled him," This may be the most capable of reflecting the real purpose of the United States at this time is located.At this time the Soviet Union,with the country's rising force,above all,outside the United States without the constraints of an inflated ego begin to reach out everywhere around the world,and the United States competing for sites,to expand its influence, wanted to replace the United States.Brezhnev at the Soviet Communist Party on 25 large publicly announced:"At present in the formulation of U.S.foreign policy,when on earth may be not a single corner of the case are not to be taken into account in some way." Materials in accordance with the West that Brezhnev had in-house publicity said:"give me 10 years,I will dominate the world and expressed the belief that the Soviet Union in 1985 can perhaps anywhere in the world to exercise their will." It is in this mentality,driven by the expansion of Soviet hegemony to implement foreign policy.This has resulted in militarization of the national economy,economic structure,deformities,pregnant with profound economic crisis.At the same time,it also affected people's living standards improve and improve.This became the masses dissatisfied with the root causes of social unrest;huge military spending,leading to financial crisis-ridden Soviet Union,almost on the verge of collapse;in the third world,the Soviet Union attack on all fronts,shop stalls too long,the burden of the more serious the more the back,sending troops into Afghanistan a bouquet of crushed the camel's straw.Excessive expansion of the Soviet Union,its vitality,a great drain on its own strength,for their own good dig the grave.Paul·Kennedy in "the rise and fall of great powers" because of big powers that put most of its wealth and energies to overseas expansion,rather than him in order to maintain the coinpetitive position of investment,which tend to weaken the country a strong economic foundation,eventually will move toward perish.The Soviet Union is such a big country and expansion of the typical victim. The decline of the United States put forward the Nixon Doctrine,but in the fight against the Soviet Union's position is not entirely in retreat,to wash their hands,but positive dealings with the Soviet Union,dragging the Soviet Union.On the one hand, economic relations and trade with the Soviet Union induced the carrot can be described as "please enter Wengfu",on the other hand,the United States take the initiative to adjust the relationship with its allies,with its allies to contain the Soviet Union,Then use the contradictions between China and the Soviet Union,playing the "China card" restricting the Soviet Union.The United States is such a sensible compromise,concessions,restore the strength of her energies,so as to counterattack after the Reagan Doctrine laid the foundation for the Soviet Union.Disintegration of the Soviet Union dealt with the academic community at the American factor,the most emphasis in the "Reagan Doctrine."Long term,however,"Nixon Doctrine" in the disintegration of the Soviet Union's role is a potential long-term,"credit" for.80s since the "Reagan doctrine" marks yet another turning point in American foreign policy.The United States against the Soviet Union from relaxation to the hard-line, strengthen cooperation with the Soviet Union against the Soviet Union wish to kill everything.Launched an attack on the economy,together with its allies to take technical blockade,cutting off the lifeline of the Soviet Union;the Soviet Union in the field of credit is not a penny the West,want to use oil and gas exports for foreign exchange,the United States and Saudi Arabia were "common co-operation "under the loss of many foreign exchange earnings,which are no doubt exacerbated the economic difficulties of the Soviet Union have shaken the foundation of the Soviet Union's existence.Militarily,the United States hard-line implementation of the "Strategic Defense Initiative",the expansion of military spending,development of new types of weapons,the Soviet Union put into a new round of arms race,technological competition,consumption of the Soviet Union's resources and caused the collapse of the Soviet Union;Ideological attacks,provocation,saying the Soviet Union are "evil empire" to its remains into the dustbin of history,to the United States to boost morale,and voicing support for the implementation of the peaceful evolution of the Soviet Union,Soviet Union corrosion;At the Third World,the United States and the Soviet Union as the opponents everywhere,everywhere chased agents against the Soviet Union,so that limited to the plight of the Soviet Union.The United States also has low-intensity war against Libya and the invasion of Grenada,because they have behind the shadow of the Soviet Union.These policies of the United States can and do change in the historical process of the Soviet Union.It's like waves of a strong hurricane blowing weak Soviet system.No wonder the former Soviet Union Communist Party Central Committee,senior officials·Yevgeny Novikov said:"The Reagan Administration's policy is the demise of the Soviet system,an important factor." 70s from the 20th century,American foreign policy turning point - Nixon Doctrine to the early 80s another turning point - the Reagan doctrine,both in the collapse of the Soviet Union played a different role.If the Nixon Doctrine in the United States are unable to circumstances,with the Soviet Union eased,concession,compromise,a sign of weakness,let the Soviet Union's expansion,expansion.Then the Reagan Doctrine in the United States is restore confidence in the strength and hard-line against the Soviet Union after all,wish to kill the Soviet Union.Nixon Doctrine, Reagan Doctrine has Zhang Yichi,there is song there is tight,there is disintegration of the Soviet Union in achieving the same similar.
