Détente refers to the period of eased tensions and improved relations between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, primarily from the late 1960s to the late 1970s. It involved various diplomatic efforts, arms control agreements, and cultural exchanges aimed at reducing the risk of nuclear conflict. Key milestones included the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) and the Helsinki Accords. Détente began to unravel in the late 1970s, particularly after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, marking its decline.
