The end of détente, the easing of Cold War tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, was primarily influenced by several factors, including the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979, which heightened U.S. fears of Soviet expansionism. Additionally, the rise of more aggressive U.S. foreign policies under President Reagan, who viewed the USSR as an "evil empire," further escalated hostilities. The arms race resumed, and both sides increased their military expenditures, leading to a breakdown in diplomatic relations and a return to a more confrontational stance.
It led the United States to pursue a friendlier relationship with China.
the detente was from 1962 to 1972. i don't know much about what it was though!
Detente marked a period of eased tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, particularly in the 1970s. It led to increased diplomatic communication, arms control agreements like the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), and a temporary reduction in the risk of nuclear conflict. However, while detente reduced hostilities, it did not eliminate underlying ideological differences, and tensions resurfaced in the late 1970s, indicating that detente was a complex and often fragile phase in Cold War dynamics.
Detente means to relax or to relief tension. When the cold war started Detente first kept thing relaxing but as it went on it got worse.
