During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union, orchestrated the opening of relations with the People's Republic of China, engaged in what became known as shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East to end the [[Yom Kippur War]], and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords, ending American involvement in the Vietnam War.
