Detailed explanation-1: -The best examples of détente during the Cold War are SALT I, SALT II, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the Helsinki Accords.
Detailed explanation-2: -The agreement limited the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) either side could have in their arsenals and allowed each nation to build two missile defense sites.
Detailed explanation-3: -Détente (pronounced day-tont) is a word that means less tension and a better relationship between two countries. The main example of a détente was during the Cold War. In the 1970’s, the United States and the Soviet Union improved relations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Détente ended after the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, which led to the United States’ boycott of the 1980 Olympics, held in Moscow. Ronald Reagan’s election as president in 1980, based in large part on an anti-détente campaign, marked the end of détente and a return to Cold War tensions.
