to decrease the tension during the cold war
really bad and gloopy
the united states and the Soviet Union held the balance of power
Detente
In many ways. The SALT (Strategic Arms Limitations Talk) agreements lessened the tensions for many in the West. Critics said that the Soviets were getting the best of the deal, but talking was still preferable to fighting. The Olympic Games also reduced the tensions, as did Nixon's visit to Red China and the Apollo-Soyuz docking in orbit. Tensions were constantly up and down during the Cold War.
The calm days.

The US Congress passed laws limiting the activity of the Communist Party in the US, in reaction to Cold War tensions. The Cold War lasted from 1945 to 1991.
As the games were held in Moscow, and also as it was cold war time U.S.A did not participate in this Olympics. So U.S.S.R lead the Medal Tally with 76 gold and then by Germany with 47 golds. Here's the link for each of the Olympic Games. http://olympic-museum.de/m-stand/mirror1980.htm

The outcome of the Chinese Civil War contributed to Cold War tensions because it resulted in the spread of communism which was contrary to the goals of the United States.
