"Peace through strength" is a foreign policy doctrine advocating for a strong military to deter potential adversaries and maintain peace. It suggests that by demonstrating military power and preparedness, a nation can discourage aggression and avoid conflict.
George Washington:
The concept was articulated by President George Washington in his 1793 State of the Union address, emphasizing the need to be prepared for war to secure peace.
Ronald Reagan:
President Reagan famously employed this strategy during the Cold War, advocating for a strong military build-up to counter the Soviet Union and ultimately contributing to the end of the Cold War.
"Peace Through Strength" has appeared in every party platform of the Republican Party since 1980. On assuming office in January 2017, Donald Trump cited the idea of "Peace Through Strength" as central to his overall "America First" foreign policy.
