Well,there are some people who give him credit for causing the fall of the Soviet Union,by referring to it as an "Evil Empire". It supposedly shocked higher-ups in the Russian
government who were used to more diplomatic language
from the rival superpower. It actually started some reforms
that would lead to democracy.

Unfortunately, Socastee, when one sees the answers about the impact and the achievements of Ronald Reagan had on History one has to sort through a lot of partisan politics and myths. For a good idea of Ronald Reagan and the Berlin Wall - see New York Times Contributor James Mann's article called: "Tear Down That Myth" - he has done a fine job of describing the "triumphal school of interpretation."

The first attempts to create a "star wars" nuclear shield began in the 80's with Reagan.
two thumbs down, guess someone has a better recollection of printed history?
