Its outcome, the General Act of the Berlin Conference, is often seen as the formalisation of the Scramble for Africa.
The conference assembled at Berlin on November 15, 1884, and after protracted deliberations the General Act was signed on February 26, 1885 by the representatives of all the powers attending the conference.
For most of Africa, the conference foreshadowed the ending of independence, which was largely extinguished during the 1890s and 1900s.

 Berlin Conference of 1954 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Berlin Conference of 1954 was a meeting of the "Big Four" foreign ministers of the United States (John Foster Dulles), Britain (Anthony Eden), France (Georges Bidault), and the Soviet Union (Vyacheslav Molotov), on January 25-February 18, 1954.
The ministers agreed to call a wider international conference to discuss a settlement to the recent Korean War and the ongoing Indochina War between France and the Viet Minh, but failed to reach agreement on issues of European security and the international status of Germany and Austria, then under four-power occupation following World War II.
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.

 Aftermath 1949 -- 1959
The city of Berlin is located 110 miles from the borders of the newly established Federal Republic of Germany, in what US soldiers euphemistically call "Injun territory," and this fact of geography presents some problems.
West Berliners were anxious to be included within the constitutional structure of the emerging Federal Republic and, from a sentimental standpoint, the Western Allies had to agree that this was a quite natural desire.
West Berlin was now able to receive annual subsidies from the federal treasury and the city legislature no longer had to debate every federal law and treaty before they became applicable in Berlin.

The report by the Kennedy Board submitted in January 1954 recommended returning to the traditional title of "Militia", replacing divisional and brigade headquarters with militia group headquarters (twenty-six in number), reducing the infantry and artillery components and increasing the number of armoured units (with armoured units also taking over the anti-tank role).
On 21 June 1954, the new structure of the Militia was outlined in the House of Commons by Brooke Claxton, the Minister of National Defence.

 Berlin Wall Constructed, Cold War Gets Frosty
It seems as though the Berlin Wall is being erected and the period of isolation for West Berlin will not be short.
Willy Brandt, mayor of West Berlin, said the construction of the barrier was "not just erecting a border separating states but the wall of a concentration camp.*" Outside comments such as this, the reaction from the West has been surprisingly low key.
Due to this situation, it is thought that the meeting of Communist parties of the Commecon which took place ten days ago in Moscow was probably the time and the place when the final decision was taken to try and stem the east to west flood of people.

 The Pentagon Papers, Volume 1, Chapter 3, "The Geneva Conference, May-July 1954"
The Berlin Conference final communiqué had specified that the Indochina deliberations would be attended by the United States, Great Britain, Communist China, the Soviet Union, France, "and other states concerned." Invitations to the participants would, it was further agreed, be issued only by the Berlin conferees, i.e., by the Big Four but not by Peking.
Not until late in the Conference did the Vietnamese government become aware of the strong possibility that partition would become part of the settlement; on this and other developments, as we shall see, the Vietnamese were kept in the dark, a circumstance that was to solidify Vietnamese hostility to and dissociation from the final terms.
As the conference moved ahead, three major areas of contention emerged: the separation of belligerent forces, the establishment of a framework for political settlements in the three Indochinese states, and provision for effective control and supervision of the cease-fire.

 [No title]
Moreover, it was not so much the case, as Banchoff argues, that Adenauer suddenly arrived at different political insights and "temporarily" changed his mind to agree to a foreign ministers' conference in Berlin in early 1954.
He undoubtedly is confusing this with the Geneva conference of 1959.) Still, on the whole Banchoff's account of Adenauer's policy of integration with the West is sound.
The Stalin note of March 1952, Winston Churchill's 1953 reunification attempt, the 1954 Berlin conference, the 1955 East-West conferences, and any number of other proposals for a reunited Germany that was not fully integrated into the West—floated by Schumacher, Kaiser, Pfleiderer, and George Kennan, among others—never stood any serious chance of being realized.

The Pillar of Shame is to be erected on a central site in Berlin as a memorial to the victims of the terror of the Third Reich, a terror which reached its climax in the systematised, industrial mass extermination of humans.
The erection in Berlin adds yet another symbol: contempt for humans and cynically planned industrial mass extermination based on the logic of science and rationality.
Exhibited on the NGO Forum of the FAO summit in Rome, Italy, the sculpture became a sort of symbol of the conference.

We envision that the ICORE Conference in Berlin this August will be the first of several occasions on which we can work together to specify a research agenda, study design, and instrumentation that will permit the coordinated, international, comparative study of electoral systems in 1996 and beyond.
The central purpose of the Conference is to bring together social scientists and directors of national election studies who are interested in joining in this international effort and to begin to forge a consensus around the substantive themes that should guide this collaborative enterprise.
Following this second conference there will be ample opportunity for the piloting and pretesting of new instrumentation in a variety of polities before the actual field work begins in 1996.
