Chapter 10: From Cold War to d\u00e9tente, 1962\u201379<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n

Starting in the mid-1970s Moscow and Washington increasingly clashed over areas far removed from the original causes of the Cold War: the Middle East, South-East Asia and Africa. European d\u00e9tente dealt with issues limited to the specific regional context, such as the relationship between the two Germanies and the nature and level of interaction between Eastern and Western Europe. The Cuban Missile Crisis remains one of the most widely written-about confrontations of the Cold War. In terms of Soviet-American relations the fall of d\u00e9tente exposed how slender the basis for co-operation had always been. The shift of the focus of Soviet-American confrontation from Europe to the Third World may have made the old continent less central as a Cold War arena, but for most Europeans this represented a net gain, allowing political and economic engagement between the East and the West to increase even as the Soviet-American relationship deteriorated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
