Smit Shah's topic discusses the concept and development of détente. Détente refers to relaxing tensions and was an approach between the US and Soviet Union from 1945-1953. Key events that led to détente included the Cuban Missile Crisis that highlighted the fear of nuclear war. Both the US and Soviet Union also had economic reasons for pursuing cooperation - the US was defeated in Vietnam while the Soviet Union wanted to improve its economy. This led to improved relations and cooperation through agreements like the Helsinki Accords in 1975 and the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963. However, détente ended when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
