Answer:

Détente is the process of easing tense relationships, particularly political ones, by verbal dialogue. In diplomacy, the word dates back to approximately 1912, when France and Germany attempted but failed to defuse tensions. Typically, the word refers to a period during the Cold War.

It's kinda like bringing peace to another country if you two got some beef.
