Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'détente'

The period of eased tensions and improved diplomatic relations between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War, particularly from the late 1960s to late 1970s. Détente was characterized by increased dialogue, arms limitation agreements like SALT I, cultural exchanges, and trade relations that temporarily reduced the risk of nuclear confrontation.
