Détente is a word of French origin that means to ease hostilities with an adversary.
When Nixon took office in 1969, he promoted a détente policy with the Soviet Union and China, advised by his secretary of the state: Henry Kissinger.
Nixon visited China in 1972, and met personally with Mao Zedong. This event was the start of a new relation between the U.S. and China.
He also met with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev in 1972, and reached important agreements like the Anti-Ballistic missile treaty.
Most historians coincide that this policy of détente was successful, and helped Nixon become reelected.
Answer:
b. Aaron and Miriam.
Explanation:
In the book of Numbers, we see Moses was questioned and his authority was also put in question by his own siblings, Aaron and Miriam (Numbers 12). Moses had taught the Israelites to not intermarry with the foreigners (Deuteronomy 7:3) among them but he himself married one (Numbers 12:1). So, they took upon themselves to be leaders of the people. But God's "<em>anger was kindled against them</em>" (Numbers 12:9) and he inflicted Miriam with leprosy to the brink of dying. Only after Aaron intervened to Moses to forgive them did God remove it. This brings to the point to never question God's appointed leaders and to always respect them.
