51.12098 An Analysis of the Strategic Defense Initiative.
This paper will discuss the Strategic Defense Initiative, and all of the facets of history that tie it to the nuclear arms race, which it was supposed to defend against. By understanding the many political, economic, and nuclear powered reasons why the defense of the United States was needed, the objective of the Strategic Defense Initiative can be explained. With all of the objections, and the positive qualities about the defense system at hand, we can see why it was created, and under what circumstances this was made.
