Détente -meaning the relaxation of tensions. The reduction of nuclear stockpiles lasted until the Soviet

Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979.

of the Soviet Union, loosened the Soviet grip on Eastern Europe.

defend the communist block NATO– Ethnic tensions in diverse populations asserted their

own identity when Eastern Europe’s economy collapsed in the late 1980’s • led to infighting in the Eastern European region of the
