Editing John Foster Dulles (section)

==Family==
John Foster Dulles’ brother was [[Allen Dulles]] (1893–1969). Allen was a prominent American diplomat and intelligence officer, best known for serving as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 1953 to 1961 under Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. He played a key role in shaping U.S. intelligence operations during the Cold War, overseeing covert operations such as the 1953 Iranian coup (Operation Ajax) and the 1954 Guatemalan coup (Operation PBSuccess) and [[Operation Gladio]]. Allen Dulles was also involved in the Bay of Pigs invasion (1961), which led to his resignation after its failure. Like his brother, he was a staunch anti-communist, and their close collaboration influenced U.S. foreign policy. Earlier in his career, Allen served in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II and was a partner at the law firm [[Sullivan & Cromwell]], alongside John Foster.

John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles had a sister named [[Eleanor Lansing Dulles]] (1895–1996). Eleanor was a prominent American diplomat, economist, and author who made significant contributions to U.S. foreign policy, particularly in post-World War II Europe. She worked in the U.S. State Department, specializing in German and Austrian reconstruction, and played a key role in the economic recovery of West Berlin during the Cold War, earning her the nickname “Mother of Berlin.” She was involved in the [[Marshall Plan]] and served in various diplomatic posts, including as an economic officer in Vienna and Berlin. Eleanor also wrote several books on international affairs and economics, including The [[Bank for International Settlements]] at Work (1932) and Berlin: The Wall Is Not Forever (1967). Like her brothers, she was deeply engaged in public service, though her work focused more on economic diplomacy than intelligence or high-level foreign policy.

[[Robert Lansing]] (1864–1928) was an American lawyer and diplomat who served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson from 1915 to 1920.  He was the uncle by marriage of John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Eleanor Lansing Dulles. His tenure was marked by significant international challenges during and after World War I, and he played a pivotal role in shaping U.S. foreign policy during a transformative period. 
Resignation (1920) - Frustrated by Wilson’s refusal to compromise on the League of Nations and his exclusion from key decisions, Lansing resigned in February 1920 after Wilson accused him of disloyalty for convening cabinet meetings during Wilson’s illness.
