Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'detente'

The period of eased tensions and improved diplomatic relations between Cold War superpowers, particularly between the United States and Soviet Union during the late 1960s and 1970s. Détente was characterized by arms limitation talks, increased trade, cultural exchanges, and the Helsinki Accords, representing a strategic shift from confrontation to negotiation despite continuing ideological differences. This period of relative cooperation provided opportunities for alternative historical scenarios where Cold War dynamics might have evolved differently.
