If the initiative came from the USSR , it met a favourable response in the West and Washington. By 1954 substantive east-west negotiations had begun again , covering Germany , Austria , Korea and Indo-China (Vietnam). In one case , Austria a complete solution was found by declaring the country "neutral" , in return for a full complete evacuation of Soviet military troops and forces. In two others , Korea and Indo-China , military hostilities ended and partition of the two disputed countries , Korea and Vietnam, was accepted by both sides , in practice if not in theory. No solution was found in Germany and some initial willingness on the part of the Soviet Union was rebuffed in the west : but the very easing of east- west tension overall did enable a lowering of conflict in this central European theatre as well. It was not thought that east-west hostilities had ended , and the unfinished agenda of the first round of the Cold War was later activated and played with delayed force- most remarkably in the Indo-Chinese / Vietnamese conflict. The easing of confrontation meant that , while East-West confontation and contestation contunued the first segment of the Cold War ended and came to an end. Tratfor

Defined in this matter of Detente if becomes much easier to identify the peculiarities of those periods of the Cold Wars. It can be said to be a period of the Cold Wars of Oscillatory Antagonism and that of Political and Bi-National "Detente". If the latter marks the clearest contrast , the former is an ambiguous period containing elements and phases of Detente followed by reversion to the characteristics of the Cold War. The six features of Detente contrast with those already sen as characteristics "Cold War’ and " Cold Warriors". Detente was marked by a retreat from the allout arms race, by a rhetoric of peace and pursuit of armament. Ehole Detente was not accompanied on either side, by substantial disarmament – i.e by net reduction of weapon levels , some limitation of the arms race i.e. arms control , was a prominent aim and acheivment of the Detente Period. During Detente , there was a greater tolerance of the other social order , more interest in and more accurate information about its character . Indeed there was sometimes a tendency for analysts on one or the other side to minimize failings on the other side even when one or the other was well known to the two camps.

From the middle of the 1970’s the world witnessed the onset of a Second Cold War , a period of east – west hostility and of the international focus upon this conflict was comparable , in its political essentials , to the First political Cold War of 1946 to 1953. Whatever accommodations the U.S.A and the U.S.S.R. were to seek in political and geopolitical terms following this – the Cold War had been launched. The gravity of this political development was plain enough from the very tone in which international relations were being conducted . In contrast to the more cooperative and cautious tone of east west relations evident during the detente of the early 1970’s Moscow and Washington now engaged in threats , challenges , self justifications and vilifications of each political and geopolitical and strategic sides.

Cold Wars : Old and New From the middle 1970’s the world witnessed the onset of a Second Cold War, a period of east-west hostility and of international focus; upon this conflict was comparable.&In its essentials to the first Cold War of 1946- 53.. Whatever accommodations the USA and USSR were to seek after this Cold War had been launched , the gravity of this development was plain enough to the last tone in which international relations were being conducted .In contrast to the more cooperative and cautious tone of east west relations evident during the detente of the early 1970′ we could now hear Moscow and Washington engage in threat and counter threat. challenge, justification and vilification of each other. In the years from 1979 to 1982 at least and emphasis upon the search for common ground gave way to one of strength and military preparedness as the basis of world affair; This was due to the fact that responsibility for the problems was distributed between different ; and was replaced by a straightforward indictment of the opposing side.
