The Cold War Thaws

Soviet Union Joseph Stalin Died on March 5, 1953 Nikita Khrushchev took over after Stalin Khrushchev announced the policy of destalinization The point was to point the Soviet Union in a new direction Wanted to make sure people forgot about Stalin Monuments were destroyed and his body was moved outside the Kremlin wall

United States John F. Kennedy involved in a U-2 plane incident and Cuban Missile Crisis, put the US on the brink of war After the assassination of Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson becomes president Johnson believed in containment and domino theory. Which escalated the US involvement in Vietnam. Protest and government deceiving the people lead to a withdrawal Johnson didn’t run for re-election

Richard Nixon Richard Nixon became president in 1969 Ran on the promise that he would deescalate the war in Vietnam He actually expanded the war into Cambodia Nixon wanted to drastically change US policy on dealing with the Soviet Union Introduced Détente to lessen the tension This policy came from realpolitik which means “realistic politics” -Practical and based on circumstances rather than ideological/moral beliefs

United States reduces tensions Both the US and Soviet Union agreed to reduce tensions In February 1972, Nixon became the 1st president to visit the Soviet Union Nixon and Brezhnev had a series of meeting called Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) This limited the number of ballistic and submarine- launched missiles each country can have

Détente cools Nixon and Ford tried to improve relations with the Détente policy Jimmy Carter and the Soviet Union didn’t get along Carter and Brezhnev signed SALT II in June 1979 US congress never ratified the agreement because of the Soviet Union involvement in Afghanistan This caused nations around the world to build up their nuclear weapons

Ronald Reagan Reagan took office after Jimmy Carter in 1981 He was against the policy of détente Reagan announced a program called Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) The program also had another name that was named after a famous movie Star Wars This program was to help protect America from enemy missiles This helped lead to the end of the Cold War
