The Geneva Summit of 1955 (jul 18, 1955 – jul 23, 1955)

Description:

-In attendance were Eisenhower, Eden (Britain), Bulganin (USSR), and Faure (France), their respective foreign ministers (Dulles, Macmillan, Molotov, and Pinay), and Nikita Khrushchev
-Eisenhower's most significant proposal was his "Open Skies" plan, which entailed the US and the USSR exchanging maps indicating the location of every military installation in the respective nation
-No major decisions were made and all significant proposals were denied
-This likely increased tensions because it illustrated how compromises were going to be difficult to reach between the nations
