The Berlin meeting was an early fruit of the first period of U.S.-Soviet détente or "thaw" during the 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.[1] Some effects of the Berlin Conference was that the leaders were unable to reach an agreement.
