Summary/Abstract: Denmark may well be characterized as both a pathfinder and a perpetuator of European détente during the last decades of Cold War. At times this was explicitly appreciated by Denmark’s strongest ally, the United States, and could also account for the State Department’s 1975characterization of Denmark as “a sophisticated NATO ally.”
