The
Berlin Conference of 1954 was a meeting of the "Big Four" foreign ministers of the
United States (
John Foster Dulles),
Britain (
Anthony Eden),
France (
Georges Bidault), and the
Soviet Union (
Vyacheslav Molotov), on
January 25-
February 18,
1954.
The ministers agreed to call a wider international conference to discuss a settlement to the recent
Korean War and the ongoing
Indochina War between France and the
Viet Minh, but failed to reach agreement on issues of European security and the international status of
Germany and
Austria, then under four-power occupation following
World War II.
The Berlin meeting was an early fruit of the first period of U.S.-Soviet
détente or "thaw" following the first
Cold War. Little progress was made, except with Austria, from which the Soviets agreed to withdraw if it were made
neutral. The subsequent
Geneva Conference was to produce a temporary peace in
Indochina and France's withdrawal from
Vietnam, though formal peace in
Korea remained elusive.
