Abstract
By the beginning of 1948 the cold war had begun to dominate the international scene. After the breakup of the Council of Foreign Ministers in London, in December 1947, it was evident that the grand alliance that had won the Second World War could not bridge the differences, the most important being the future of Germany. The time for negotiation was over. This led to an increased need to consolidate the forces in the West in economic reconstruction and in some kind of political and military alliance. At the same time Stalin consolidated his hold over Eastern Europe.
