It was called START. It was essentially a treaty between the US and USSR. This ensured neither country was too powerful
Germany's role was a defeated nation.
The discussions that ended with the Treaty of Versailles was held after World War One(WWI), where Germany was a defeated nation and the content of the treaty was about the punishment for Germany after being an aggressor who initiated the war and invaded the others,causing mass damage over Europe.
Some brief information about the treaty was that Germany was punished through disarmament, where only 100000 army were allowed to remain. The Saar coal field was also taken away and monitored by the League of Nations.
Hope it helps!
Not only goods but also culture was "traded" along trade routes. The Renaissance was a time period of new thinking. Trade influenced the renaissance because it gave Europeans a contact with other cultures that had perhaps developed newer or better techniques and technologies. For example, the Arabic states had advanced universities and had made great discoveries in mathematics.
