Eisenhower resigned his command at NATO
Time: Jun, 1952
Place: Brussels, Belgium
Details: A "Draft Eisenhower" movement in the Republican Party persuaded him to declare his candidacy in the 1952 presidential election to counter the candidacy of non-interventionist Senator Robert A. Taft. The effort was a long struggle; Eisenhower had to be convinced that political circumstances had created a genuine duty for him to offer himself as a candidate and that there was a mandate from the public for him to be their president. Henry Cabot Lodge and others succeeded in convincing him, and he resigned his command at NATO in June 1952 to campaign full-time.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
