Re: From the number of downvotes
Anyone who has to quote wiki has already lost the argument.
As for the europa link, you need to look at what went on in France a few years AFTER WWII, but before the C.M. was proposed.
A history written by someone about themselves only ever mentions the parts they want you to know; try reading 3rd party histories.
I am saddened at the lack of down-votes, I was expecting historic levels, and all I am seeing is the same few, petulant losers.
