The crowning achievements of Presidents [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] was the signing of the long sought-after [[Treaty on Intermediate Nuclear Forces]] (INF Treaty) in 1988. The treaty banned placement of nuclear missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers near each other's borders or the capital cities of allies. This agreement paved the way for the end of the Cold War.
