kennedy -- kennedy did it largely for mcmillan, because he wanted mcmillan to accept not quite the policy on congo that the british wanted. the british had economic and political interest in a breakaway province. the united states wanted to unify congo and was working with the united nations on that. kennedy one of the ability to use christmas island for nuclear tests. there was horse trading in 1961. in 1863 when harold mcmillan was in the midst of a crisis -- crisis that would claim his premiership, a crisis over a prostitute and a spy -- things never change. mcmillannderstood that needed help. address theto million -- the nuclear deterrent because he understood it was popular, but he said you have to help me address ghana. the american people will never forgive me if there is another cuba in the western hemisphere. if british kiana goes communist i fear i will have to invade cuba. that is how he put it. i need you to slow decolonization there. .cmillan did it for him this has nothing to do with let me finish with laos. -- key west agreement calling it the poker table agreement, the fin

not those countries were created exactly as they should have been is another debate that margaret mcmillan historians have engaged in, and is fascinating, but whatever you think of that, the treaty is what kind of lays that groundwork for those debates and those countries to come to the fore. it's also worth noting from the international sense that w.e.b. dubois who had been a supporter of the war and is later disillusioned by the inability of the war to bring permanent civil rights reforms to america does organize the pan-african conference. this is a letter to the naacp. what that was was a gathering of african-american leaders, whether they be from the west indies or africa or the u.s. in which they gathered together to discuss what they could do to people -- we would say african-americans in america, africans, people of african descent around the world, what they could do to push forward their own civil rights and organize internationally. now, in the moment, much like many other things, it doesn't get a ton accomplished. somewhat controversial even within it. however, over the years,
