Evil Empire

The phrase **evil empire** was applied especially to the Soviet Union by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and American conservatives. First given at speech at the Annual Convention of the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando Florida in March of 1983. The American conservatives took an aggressive, hard-line stance that favored matching and exceeding the Soviet Union's strategic and global military capabilities. With this goal Ronald Reagan and the conservative members of the American government set out a policy of military growth and expenditure that the Soviet Union was incapable of matching, creating economic problems within the Soviet Union.
