Despite the claims of those who supported détente, its achievements were limited - Agree/Disagree?12/13/2015 Introduction
Between 1968 and 1980, the United States government employed a policy of détente on Communism. Originally used by Richard Nixon, it became his lasting legacy, however, it is a source of controversy. Some historians argue that it never achieved what it was meant to achieve, whilst other would argue that it was actually a success. Paragraph 1/2
Conclusion This historian would argue that détente was in fact a success. I don't believe that Nixon thought that détente would end the Cold War, I think he just wanted to reduce tensions. If you base it on whether the policy reduced tensions, you would have to argue that it did.
