Détente

The detente was used to relaxation of tensions between the United States and the  Soviet Union it started in 1971. This period was when signing of treaties like the SALT I and the SALT II that reduced arms. Detente ended after the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, which led to America's boycott of the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.
