Signing of Historic Treaty

Signing of Historic Treaty
After Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev assumed power in 1985, relations between the U.S.S.R. and non-Communist western nations began to grow more amicable. In the late 1980s, Gorbachev met with U.S. President Ronald Reagan in a series of meetings to negotiate historic nuclear arms reduction treaties between their two countries. The two leaders are shown here at the signing of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Force (INF) Treaty in 1987.
