1957 Paris summit
The 1957 Paris summit was the first NATO summit bringing the leaders of member nations together at the same time. The formal sessions and informal meetings in Paris, France took place on December 16–19, 1957. This was only the second meeting of the NATO heads of state following the ceremonial signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949.
==Background==
At the time of the 1957 summit, NATO countries were at what ''The New York Times'' and others labeled as a crucial "crossroads" in their relationship. The summit was designed as "a reconsideration of the relationship of the strategy for the defense of Western Europe", particularly in light of fading US nuclear superiority with regard to the Soviet Union. The summit was considered to be the main American diplomatic response to the Russian launch of the orbiting ''Sputnik'' satellite.〔Nash, Philip. (1997). ( ''The other missiles of October: Eisenhower, Kennedy, and the Jupiters (or sometimes known as jerichos), 1957-1963,'' p. 17. )〕
The unanimous agreement in principle to deploy intermediate range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) in Europe was counterbalanced by the decision to emphasize diplomatic negotiations with the Soviets. The ratification of this two-pronged strategy was one of the summit's accomplishments.〔Nash, ( p. 24. )〕 British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan was the leader of those pushing for a "dual-track" approach in dealing with threats to international stability. He argued in favor of two separate, but parallel agendas—one military and the other political.〔White, Brian. (1992). ( ''Britain, détente, and changing East-West relations,'' pp. 58-59. )〕
The summit discussions resulted in a dilution of the defiant posture the Americans had argued for NATO to adopt.〔Nash, ( p. 25. )〕
