Answer:  D. <em>Detente</em>

Détente means "loosening" or "relaxing."  Countries which have been strongly at odds with one another, with much tension between them, make an effort to relax that tension through negotiations.   

In history, the famous example of détente occurred between the USA and the USSR, especially in the 1970s.  There was an effort to ease the heated tensions of the Cold War.  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.

How did muslims under the rightly guided caliphs treat conquered peoples
Anna007 [38]

During the Muslim conquests and the reign of the Caliphates, the people that were conquered were treated in terrible manner in general. The Caliphs wanted their religion spread among all the people they ruled over, which led to forcing the people to accept the Islam against their will, the ones that opposed were usually murdered and enslaved, there was an Arabic assimilation going on, and multiple systematic genocides. The women that were not Muslim were taken as slaves in the harems as the holy book was suggesting exactly that. All the people that were not willing to accept the faith were tortured, harassed, enslaved, murdered, didn't had any rights, and were considered as beings on the same level as the pigs, filthy creatures that do not deserve to live. The biggest damage was done toward the Christian and Jewish communities.
