Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan was an American politician, actor, and 40th President of the United States. Born on February 6, 1911, in Tampico, Illinois, Reagan's early life was shaped by his family's struggles during the Great Depression. After graduating from Eureka College in 1932, he worked as a radio sports announcer and actor before eventually turning to politics. Reagan's rise to national prominence began in the 1960s, when he became a popular conservative spokesperson and a vocal opponent of communism. He served two terms as Governor of California, from 1967 to 1975, before winning the presidency in 1980. As president, Reagan is remembered for his staunch conservative policies, his efforts to end the Cold War, and his enduring legacy as a cultural and political icon. Reagan passed away on June 5, 2004, but his impact on American politics and culture remains significant to this day.
