Peter Edson notes the Berlin conference of Dulles Eden Bidault Molotov is framed as a four power meeting rather than a Big Four CFM. He cites four factors driving the talks including Eisenhower’s call for deeds, shifts in Soviet leadership, Austria and a unified Germany, and France’s need to strengthen its hand.
