27 gen 1972 anni - SALT-I (1972)

Descrizione:

As Conversações sobre Limites para Armas Estratégicas (mais conhecidas em inglês como Strategic Arms Limitation Talks ou SALT) são duas rodadas de negociações bilaterais e consequentes tratados internacionais entre a União Soviética e os Estados Unidos, as superpotências da Guerra Fria, acerca do tema do controle de armas nucleares. Houve duas rodadas de acordos: SALT I e SALT-II.

As conversas começaram em 1969, durante Nixon, com Henry Kissinger como National Security Advisor.

The SALT agreements signed on May 27 addressed two major issues. First, they limited the number of antiballistic missile (ABM) sites each country could have to two. (ABMs were missiles designed to destroy incoming missiles.) Second, the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles was frozen at existing levels. There was nothing in the agreements, however, about multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle missiles (single missiles carrying multiple nuclear warheads) or about the development of new weapons. Nevertheless, most Americans and Soviets hailed the SALT agreements as tremendous achievements.
