About this Quiz

The 1980s were a time of significant political change, both in the United States and around the world. In the U.S., the Reagan administration was marked by a shift towards conservative policies, both domestically and internationally. This included the implementation of 'Reaganomics', a series of economic policies that sought to stimulate the economy through tax cuts and deregulation. Internationally, the Reagan administration was involved in a number of significant events, including the Iran-Contra affair and the end of the Cold War. Meanwhile, the world saw a number of significant political events during this decade. In the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev introduced policies of 'glasnost' (openness) and 'perestroika' (restructuring), which ultimately led to the end of the Cold War. In Europe, the decade ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall, symbolizing the end of the division between East and West. In the Middle East, conflicts such as the Iran-Iraq War and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continued to shape the region's political landscape. This quiz will test your knowledge on these and other major political events of the 1980s.
