called for [ CITATION His181 \l 1033 ].Moreover, “the accords laid the groundwork for theOslo Accords, agreements signed by Israel and thePalestineLiberation Organization (PLO) in 1993 that resolved significant issues and moved the region one step closer to a lasting peace that still remains elusive [ CITATION His181 \l 1033 ].” Furthermore, Détente word literally means easing of tensions between countries (Openstax, 2019). For instance, the easing of Cold War tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union from 1967 to 1979. It was a time of increased trade and support with the Soviet Union and the signing of the SALT treaties [ CITATION Bri19 \l 1033 ]. SALT I & SALT II “were intended to restrain the arms race in strategic (long-range or intercontinental) ballistic missiles armed with nuclear weapons [ CITATION Bri191 \l 1033 ].”Thus, the United States should have feared internationalcommunist subversion during the Cold War era. There was a lack of trust with the Soviet Union and a suspicion of a nuclear war. ReferencesBritannica. (2019). Détente. Retrieved from Encyclopaedia Britannica:
