'A Vision of Europe' challenges this received wisdom, offering a fundamental re-evaluation of inter-war Franco-German relations during the Great Depression and providing a fuller understanding of the historical origins of today's European Union. It demonstrates that rather than lapsing into mutual recrimination and national egotism, France and Germany engaged with the challenges of the post-1929 slump by way of plans for a Franco-German customs union and wider bilateral economic collaboration, whether across the Rhine, in the French Empire, or elsewhere in Europe. 0. 651 0 France |xForeign relations |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Germany |xForeign relations |zFrance |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Depressions |y1929 |zGermany. 650 0 Depressions |y1929 |zFrance. 856 41 |zAvailable to Stanford-affiliated users. |uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199676293.001.0001 |yOxford Scholarship Online 852 0 |bstacks |hDC59.8.G3 |iF55 2017
