President Richard Nixon
Rather than continuing the massive buildup of nuclear arsenals in an arms race, the United States and the Soviet Union began to talk to one another about the strategic reduction of armaments. The nations' leaders, Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon, met in Moscow in 1972 -- the first visit of a US president to Moscow. They signed agreements stemming from these Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT), which began a new direction in policy between the two superpowers.
Leading up to th war of 1812, British soldiers would board American ships, claim that the crew defected from the British navy and would send them to prison. This obviously did not sit well with the United states government and this was one of the reasons we went to war with England in 1812.
