This question refers to the trip that Dizzy Gillespie and his band made to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia in 1956. The main reason why this trip was organized was because the United States was interested in presenting a positive image of America abroad. One of the ideas that the group wanted to spread was that of anti-authoritarianism. This led them to oppose rules and regulations of government.

This idea was particularly powerful in Greece, which at the time had an authoritarian, unpopular government. The ideas spread by these people were so popular that people in Athens tossed their jackets in the air when Dizzy played, and even carried the musician on their shoulders through the streets of Athens. This showed that the music was a huge success.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

  1. The end of the arms race.
  2. The expansion of trade between the two nations.
  3. The signing of the agreement that ended the cold war.

Explanation:

Detente is a term used to refer to the moments and agreements that allow a loosening in the political or economic tensions that is occurring between two countries or more. A more evident example of this term is the easing of the tension that the cold war created between the USA and the USSR.

As you may already know, the cold war period was marked by an ideological conflict between the USA and the USSR, where the two nations that were military powers (having the same nuclear power) faced each other indirectly, since a direct conflict between the two would be disastrous. In this conflict the detente can be seen when both countries agreed to end the arms race, establish trade agreements between the two and sign a deal that ended the cold war.
