Political Scientists define Diplomacy as the art of
compromise between nations. The topics usually discussed in diplomatic situations
usually revolve around trade, war, economics, and maintaining a peaceful coexistence.
Nixon's trip to China in 1972 ushered in America's foreign policy of De`tente, a
relaxation of international tensions. Americans hoped that the trip would keep the
Soviet Union wondering about America's motives. President Nixon favored reopening
diplomatic relations with China because it was in America's best interests. China was
the world's most populous nation, it was a nuclear power, and China had
significant presence in less developed Asian countries. Although the visit was probably
more symbolic than practical, it offered a little warmth during the Cold
War.
