Answer: B
The origins of détente lie in the lessons of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.
The October 1962 crisis brought the United States and the Soviet Union close to nuclear war. Both sides drew the lesson that they needed to manage their rivalry: the Moscow-Washington hotline (1963), the Partial Test Ban Treaty (1963) and, later, the arms control talks were the first steps towards the détente of the late 1960s and 1970s.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki began the nuclear age but not détente, Nixon's visit to China in 1972 came during détente, and the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979 ended it.
