Our class will seek an explanation for the specific nature of Britain’s view of the European Community as well as the reactions to it from across the English Channel. The emotions and beliefs behind Charles de Gaulle’s two vetoes of Britain’s joining the Community will also be examined. There will be a discussion on Britain's 2016 Referendum regarding the European Union.
