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

Western governments had stressed a new military capacity , the need increased for an expansion of military expenditures and the legitimacy of the use of military force in international conflicts and international geopolitical relations. Kimmy Carter pledged himself in 1978 to a 3 .3 % in military spending , the Republican Party manifesto committed itself to restoring military superiority. Speaking to cadres at its miltary academy at West Point in 1981 on the dangers of "Treaty Trap" President Ronald Reagan promised to expand America’s military strength. "No nation that placed its faith in parchment or paper while at the same time it gave up its protective hardware (military) ever lasted long enough to write many pages in history" he said. Reagan’s first Secretary of State Alexander Haig stated on many occasions during the first months after coming into office that the Administration’s priority was , in his phase , " the restoration of U.S. military and economic strength" He told an audience that "some things were more valuable than peace" Tratfor www.fortunawebs.com www.fortunacooks.com www.fishlakemanitobanarrows.com

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.

Cold War I had brought neither neither peace nor honor for those that waged it. Neither East nor West was able to prevail over the other , and the very partitions that accompanied its end – in Germany , Korea and Vietnam – symbolized the inconclusive character of its termination. Yet of there were no clear winners, both sides can be side to have gained in some measure from this level and situation of this segment and period of the Cold. On the Soviet side , the leadership could see that that their alliance system was now established from Berlin , Peking and Hanoi , an extraordinary contrast with the situation prevailing before 1945 , let alone that in existence before World War II. The terrible devastation of the "Great Patriotric" or Second World War had given way to an outburst of reconstruction and development in Eastern Europe and the USSR as behind almost sealed frontiers , the construction of socialism went ahead apace. The dynamism of the USSR was later in the decade to find expression in the scientific acheivments of Sputnik and the first manned space flights.
