The Cold War and Its Effects — Test

Question 23 • Modern World History

Which best describes what occurred during the détente era?

Answer
A
alliance formation
B
arms reduction
C
arms limitation
D
increased openness

Explanation

Détente was a period of eased tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. The two countries negotiated agreements, such as the SALT treaties, that limited the growth and deployment of nuclear weapons. That is arms limitation, not necessarily arms reduction, which would mean actually lowering the number of weapons.
