While British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher celebrated Reagan's visit and thanked him for putting \"freedom on the offensive,\" over 100,000 Britons marched from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square to protest his arrival and call for nuclear disarmament. Reagan's homecoming was equally eventful, with 1,000,000 protesters marking his return with a rally for nuclear disarmament in Central Park--the largest protest in American history up to that point. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Employing a wide range of previously unexamined primary sources, Anthony M.
