Knowledge Organiser to complement unit 3.1, Attempts to Reduce Tension Between East and West, 1969-79 of Edexcel’s GCSE course, Superpowers and the Cold War 1941-1991
Includes an overview of Detente, why the USA and Soviet Union supported detente, the transfer of the US presidency from Nixon, Ford and Carter. Also covers SALT 1, the Helsinki Accords and SALT 2.
The phone is Nixon (because of the phone tapping in the Watergate scandal), the wallet if Ford (because the economic crisis experienced in his presidency) and the U-turn is Carter (because of his soft policies towards the soviets). The heart represents Brezhnev (because he dies of a heart attack). The other icons are illustrative.
