Ronald Reagan was mostly responsible for the fall of the Berlin wall. Since it coincides with the fall of the Soviet Union.
The way I understand history, is that JFK was killed because he didn't want Vietnam to escalate into combat. The undeniable fact is that he was two years dead by the time combat started.

And could you please explain just what Ronald Reagan did towards the fall of the Soviet Union? There are a lot of Russians who might think they did more....
