SALT 2
Conferences with the US and the Soviet Union about limiting nuclear weapons
Real World Example
SALT 2 was important because it represented an attempt by the US and the Soviet Union to control the nuclear arms race during a time of tension known as the Cold War. This period, part of the broader "Crisis in Confidence," highlighted global anxieties about the potential for nuclear conflict. Today, the idea of nuclear disarmament continues to be relevant as countries work to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. For the average person, these efforts mean a safer world with less fear of nuclear war impacting daily life. By reducing the number of nuclear weapons, SALT 2 helped pave the way for future agreements aimed at promoting global security and peace.
