SALT I 1972 and SALT II 1979

 


 

The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT)

of 1972 (SALT I) and

of 1979 (SALT II)


 

Part of the Cold War was the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Of special concern were strategic, or long-distance, missiles that were built to carry nuclear weapons.

SALT I and II were initiated to limit the production of these missiles.


In 1972, SALT I was signed in Moscow by
Richard M. Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev.

In 1979, SALT II was signed in Vienna by Jimmy Carter and Leonid Brezhnev.

 

But things went wrong. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1980 and diplomatic relations became a bit frosty.

However, negotiations resumed in 1982 under the name Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START).
