Cold War episode 17 - Detente 1969-1975: In the early 1970s, North Vietnam launched a new offensive against the South, prompting the United States to intensify its bombing campaign in an effort to bring an end to the conflict. At the same time, the U.S. government, under President Richard Nixon, sought to establish peace through diplomatic means, building closer relations with both China and the USSR. As part of this strategy, Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) in 1972, marking a significant step toward détente between the two superpowers. Meanwhile, West German Chancellor Willy Brandt pursued his Ostpolitik strategy, which aimed to normalize relations between West Germany, East Germany, the USSR, and Poland.
