Solution
There were deep-rooted ideological, economic, and political differences between the United States and Soviet Union before the Second World War. These differences were intensified as a result of their mutual suspicions immediately after the Second World War. After 1953, The Cold War was waning. There were two reasons which could explain the easing of the tension. The first reason was that since 1953, both the United States and the Soviet Union possessed by hydrogen bombs. Both sides realized that the use of these destructive weapons in war would destroy each other. Thus they were determined to improve their relations in order to avoid a direct military clash. The second reason was that since 1954, the bonds between The ‘Super Power’ and their satellites began to slacken. As their satellites did not fully support their leaders, it made political sense for the two superpowers to improve their relations.
