Which conference held in March 1957 aimed to declare a formal process of healing between Eisenhower and Macmillan?

• A. Bermuda Conference
• B. Potsdam Conference
• C. Yalta Conference
• D. Geneva Conference

Answer: (A)

High-level summits are used to repair strained alliances and set up ongoing cooperation. The Bermuda Conference in March 1957 brought President Dwight D. Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan together in Bermuda to declare a formal process for healing their relationship after the strains of the Suez Crisis. It was aimed at reaffirming the close Anglo-American partnership and establishing regular consultation to guide future cooperation. Potsdam and Yalta were wartime meetings from 1945 focused on postwar arrangements with the Soviet Union, not on healing relations between the United States and Britain in the 1950s. The Geneva Conference refers to later 1950s discussions about conflicts in Asia, not a March 1957 meeting between Eisenhower and Macmillan.
