The cold was a very long war with threats at every corner, and the American citizens where tired of being scared of when the bombs were going to fall. For a president to end this war would certainly boost his popularity with the American citizens. And it would give Americans and the president the dignity of beating a world power. It would be a great win for the U.S.
Instead of trying to negotiate, Regan did what haven't don't in a long time. The U.S. became the aggressive state. We went and did what we had to do to win the cold war, we took out the last Soviet Union general mikhail Gorbachev, and then told him to tear down that wall.
I believe this is accurate, Regan was the main person to put forth efforts to end the war, but the wall fell during George H.W. Bush presidency. Regan did most of the work, bush was just there when it all ended.
