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.
The correct answer is A) The Soviets began to push westward toward Germany.
The battle of Stalingrad was an armed conflict between the Red Army of the Soviet Union and the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany and its allies, for the control of the city of Stalingrad. It lasted from August 23, 1942 until February 2nd, 1943 and it took place in the context of the WWII during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. With more than 2 million casualties from both sides, it is considered the bloodiest battle in the history of Humanity. The serious defeat of Nazi army in this city was a severe turning point for the final outcomes of the war and it represents the beginning of the end of Nazism in Europe. This is due to the fact that the Wehrmacht would never recover completely its former strength and would not get more strategic victories in the Eastern front. This front extended from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean, it was too large and the supply logistics of the Wehrmacht were not enough to hold an offensive in this vast territory. As a result of this, the Wehrmacht started to retreat back to Germany under the Red Army's pressure.
