'''Détente''' is a French-language political term meaning "relaxing" or "easing" of previously hostile relations. It most recently applied to the policy of ending the [[Cold War]] between the [[United States]] and the [[Soviet Union]], and the between the U.S. and [[China]], as promoted 1969-79 by presidents [[Richard Nixon]], [[Germls Ford]] and [[Jimmy Carter]]. The Russians rejected the détente by their escalation of tensions in the Third World, and especially their [[Afghanistan War|invasion of prevously neutral Afghanistan in 1979]]. Nixon, however, achieved a détente with China in 1972 that continues today.  The key advisor and proponent of détente was [[Henry Kissinger]].
