A nation pursuing a policy of détente would most likely ENGAGE IN DISCUSSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS.
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. That does not mean they stop spending on military programs, but they do try to pull back from the brink of possible war.
In history, the famous example of détente occurred between the USA and the USSR, beginning 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.
Americans thought it was none of their business to interfere in a matter in Vietnam. They also didn't want to get involved because they had just fought World War II against Germany and Japan. Eventually when the war started Americans were against it because of the draft which forced men between certain ages to go to war.
I would say that the South American continent and also the North American continent in Mesoamerica were the two sites where European colonialism mainly of the Spanish colonialists and also the Portuguese were responsible for the stealing of the natural resources and the subjugation of the native peoples like the Incas and Aztecs. While the initial conquests were brutal and barbaric, the good thing that the Spaniards did was inter-marry with the local native people and form a new society of largely mestizo or mixed people.
