The later years of the 1950s did little to thaw relations between the 'superpowers.' The fallout of the Hungarian uprising enhanced the division and tension between East and West, and there was no let up in the quest to gain the upper hand in the 'arms' and 'space race'. However, 1960 began with an opportunity for all sides to enter an era of peaceful negotiations. President Eisenhower, Premier Khrushchev, Prime Minister Macmillan and President De Gaulle were scheduled to have talks in Paris. Unfortunately, hopes were dashed before the leaders even arrived there.
