Brezhnev Doctrine
The Brezhnev Doctrine was the Soviet policy (articulated after the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia) asserting Moscow's right to intervene militarily in any socialist state where socialism was deemed under threat. It effectively limited the sovereignty of all Warsaw Pact members until renounced by Gorbachev in 1988.
Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)
A proposed missile defense system announced by President Reagan on March 23, 1983, intended to protect the United States from nuclear ballistic missile attacks using ground-based and space-based systems. Critics nicknamed it "Star Wars." Although never fully developed, SDI increased pressure on the Soviet Union by threatening to undermine Mutually Assured Destruction and forcing the Soviets into an arms race they could not afford.
