History

Historical Context

From the inaugural 1975 Rambouillet meeting—where Gerald Ford, Helmut Schmidt and Pierre Trudeau signed a 15-point Declaration on oil-crisis response—the G7 expanded to include Canada in 1976 and the European Commission president in 1981, broadening to security and climate issues.
