    Much of the latter half of the 1900s occurred under the oppressive aura of the Cold War and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation. The continued stockpiling of nuclear weapons on either side of the Iron Curtain (enough to destroy the entire world several times over) meant that both the U.S. and Soviet Union sought out increasingly more bizarre ways of securing their safety and global prominence. It was these circumstances that led U.S. President Ronald Reagan to announce the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) in March of 1983.
