Overview

Several international crises erupted in which British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan played a distinguished role, especially the second Berlin crisis 1958 -1960, as he had an important role in easing tensions through his visit to Moscow Especially after the situation worsened and the Soviet Union attempted to end the Potsdam Agreement regarding the situation in Berlin and negotiate to make it a free city, while in the Cuban crisis he played an advisory role because of Cuban-Soviet rapprochement created a political crisis with the United States of America, which prompted the McMillan government to intervene in order to achieve rapprochement and prevent the outbreak of war between the two parties in Cuba. The Macmillan government's loss of its nuclear power made it dependent on the United States of America to supply it with weapons under the Sky bolt Agreement and to sell it Sky Bolt missiles In the Skybolt crisis, the relationship between the United States of America and McMillan government was weakened due to the abolition of the concession of the nuclear weapons Bluestreak project, on which Britain relied on possessing nuclear weapons, but because of the close relationship between Macmillan and US President Kennedy, the crisis was quickly resolved and the signing of the agreement 1962.
