What is meant by “Détente” in the context of Cold War ?
Relaxation of tension between East and West
Détente is a French word meaning easing or relaxation, and in international politics it refers to the easing of strained relations between rival powers.
During the Cold War it described the phase from the late 1960s to the late 1970s when the United States (the West) and the Soviet Union (the East) reduced hostility through arms control agreements such as SALT I and the Helsinki Accords of 1975.
It did not concern North-South relations between developed and developing countries, and it meant a lowering rather than an intensification of rivalry.
Hence, Relaxation of tension between East and West.
