A2 International Relations Help?

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to think of any "against" reasons for this question:

To what extent was the development of a 'Second Cold War' the result of Reagan's policies in the years 1981 to 1985?

The reasons why Reagan caused the second Cold War I understand, such as INF, SDI, High military spending and the Soviet Gas Pipeline, but I can't seem to think of any reasons why he didn't cause it.

Anybody have any points?

And as for balancing an essay, for questions like this, if I have 5 "for" reasons and at least 1 "against" does it still class as being balanced with a good conclusion?

Thanks in advance :smile:
