This timeline is really good but, just to be slightly picky on one point, I think that you could describe Thatcher as anti-communist prior to 1984 as she had already been called the Iron Lady by the Soviets prior to that. I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source on some things but according to them it was first coined for Thatcher by military journalist Captain Yuri Gavrilov in the Soviet newspaper Red Star on 24 January 1976 because of her staunch opposition to the Soviet Union and communism.
