Détente Lesson starter: Describe the Czechoslovakian Uprising in 1968.(4 marks) Today we will understand what Détente was and why it developed

Détente refers to a relaxation in tension between the USA and USSR in the 1970s

Background (1960s/early 70s) USA embarrassed over defeat in Vietnam – 2 nd thoughts about containment? Brezhnev Doctrine said that any country in the Warsaw Pact which tried to shake off Communism would be stopped USSR criticised for it’s control over Eastern Europe and keeping countries poor (i.e. Czechs)

Why was it time to cool things down? Cuban Missile Crisis had showed how close the powers had come to full on war USA shocked by Vietnam and wanted to stay out of world affairs Arms race very expensive for both powers CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) movement across the world Price of oil rockets in 1970s – both powers have financial problems

USSR worried about USA/China friendship

Détente - Evidence Timeline of Detente

Stumbling Blocks of Détente The Non-Proliferation Treaty did not stop other countries developing nuclear weapons (eg China, and perhaps South Africa and Israel).

Neither Russia or America kept to the SALT1 agreement. Neither side reduced their weapons. Further talks were much less successful and a SALT2 Treaty in 1979 added little.

In the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, America supported Israel, and Russia supported Egypt and Syria.

The Helsinki Agreement achieved nothing - it confirmed the Iron Curtain and Russia ignored its promises about human rights.

Table tennis and space meetings were just one-off propaganda stunts.

Brezhnev said that Communists would still try to destroy capitalism. Some historians suggest that Nixon only went to China to drive a wedge between Russia and China
