Unit 9 – Entering Into the 21st Century, 1980–Present
Topic 9.2
If Ronald Reagan had not survived the assassination attempt in 1981, what would be one probable impact on American conservatism?
There would be an immediate shift towards liberal policies under Vice President Bush’s leadership.
The Cold War might end earlier because of immediate nuclear disarmament by the USSR.
George H.W. Bush, as President, would likely continue Reagan's economic policies identically.
It could potentially have lost momentum leading to less influence in government policy in the following years.
