Four of the détente events included Nuclear non- Proliferation Treaty, Ostopolitik, Helsinki accords and the Salt Talks. I believe that the most successful détente event was the Nuclear non- Proliferation Treaty. This is an international treaty created in 1968. The purpose of this treaty was to prevent more countries from building nuclear weapons. This treaty stated that if a country did not already have nuclear weapons they were not allowed to begin making them. This treaty is what made the world only have five nuclear countries, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China. Many people would say this is one of the most important treaties created. Although the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty was most successful in lessening tension worldwide during the Cold war, the other détente events were successful in their own ways.
