Explanation

The period of the Cold War between 1969-1979, which was negotiated by US President Richard Nixon and Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev, was called "Détente". Détente is a French term that means "relaxation" or "easing". During this period, there was an attempt to ease the tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. This was a phase of the Cold War where both superpowers sought to reduce the possibility of conflict through diplomatic engagement and negotiation.

"Cold War" is the broader term for the period of political tension between the US and the USSR, "Relaxation" is a general term and not specific to this context, and "Stagflation" refers to an economic condition characterized by stagnation and inflation.
