The Helsinki Accords, signed in 1975, were a series of agreements aimed at improving relations between the Western and Eastern blocs. While not a direct product of détente, the accords contributed to the overall atmosphere of cooperation during the détente era by addressing issues such as human rights, economic cooperation, and territorial integrity, fostering dialogue between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.

rephrase like a 9th grader

The Helsinki Accords were a bunch of agreements signed in 1975 to make things better between the Western and Eastern sides. They didn't come directly from détente, but they did help with it by talking about things like people's rights, working together on money stuff, and keeping everyone's land safe. They made the US and the Soviet Union talk more.
