The geopolitical descriptive term “Cold War” originated from the 14th century writer Don Juan Manuel and initially referred to the conflict between Christians and Muslims . It was noted that at that 14th century time period that the distinction between hot and cold wars was that attributes was the manner in which the conflict and confrontation ends. “War that is very strong and very hot ends either with death or peace…. wheras cold war neither brings peace or honour to the one that makes it .” Thus Don Juan Manuel’s observation of warring conflicts as well as political , geopolitical , religious or ethical conflicts applies in a specifc general geopolitical analytical manner to the Cold War of the 20th and 21’st century nuclear era and ages.

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".
