Berlin Verdict Ends Four Powers Session With Mixed Gains
The Big Four conference collapsed after agreeing on a minor Austrian matter while failing to resolve Germany. Russia pledged not to blockade Berlin again and to improve ties with the West, but East and West Germany remain deadlocked. Observers note Moscow abandons broader aims in Germany, fearing invasion, as Western allies deter coercion with force. The session underscored that military might can deter rather than trigger wars. The adjournment marked a strategic pause with lessons on defense and diplomacy.
