His presidency coincided with a transformative period in modern American and world history, encompassing major changes in U.S. economic policy, an intensified final phase of the Cold War, and a consequential relationship with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan survived an assassination attempt in 1981 and went on to win reelection in 1984 in one of the largest Electoral College victories in American history. By the end of his presidency, U.S.-Soviet relations had changed dramatically, highlighted by the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Reagan left office in January 1989 and remains one of the most recognizable American political figures of the late twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"2705\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"2005\"\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Encapsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2008\"\u003eAccompanied by a full \u003cstrong data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2090\"\u003eJames Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity\u003c\/strong\u003e, certification number \u003cstrong data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003eYY7077\u003c\/strong\u003e, dated \u003cstrong data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2152\"\u003eNovember 25, 2014\u003c\/strong\u003e.
