20. Jahrhundert: 1945 bis heute | Kalter Krieg
Détente and Confrontation
The Vietnam War is one of the numerous proxy wars and conflicts by which, beginning in the 1950s, the USA and the Soviet Union vie for global influence and power. The whole world is now involved in the East-West conflict - including Germany, where Chancellor Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik (policy towards the East) strives for détente and reconciliation. On the international stage, the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) is one of the places where efforts are made to achieve understanding and peace. However, the arms race continues. Nuclear missiles with ever greater explosive power are stationed in Europe. This will only change with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who focuses on disarmament and major political reforms. These will ultimately lead to the end of the Cold War. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
