During the Cold War, their was a period of time that was known as Détente. This was when the tension between Russia and the United states was lessened, and an attempt was made to try and battle through means other than militarily. four of the largest détente events were the Nuclear non proliferation treaty, Ostpolitik, The Helsinki Accords, and the Strategic Arms limitations talks. The Nuclear proliferation treaty was basically a treaty to limit the amount of nuclear weapons that were created in the world. Ostpolitik was a treaty between East and West Germany, to unite them as one country. The Helsinki accords was a meeting of 35 different countries, based around a lot of Human rights movements. The S.A.L.T talks were all about Nuclear weapons, and trying to establish a safer environment between the USA and Russia. I think that the most important détente event of these four was the S.A.L.T talks, because they were trying to get rid of the huge threat of Nuclear war between Russia and the United States.
