• Article de presse: Conrad Adenauer et la restauration du crédit allemand

  Ce sera son mérite d'avoir compris que la réconciliation franco-allemande était devenue pour ce qui restait de l'Europe unequestion de vie ou de mort.

Mais laguerre de Corée, éclatant sur ces entrefaites, tout juste un mois après la proposition de Robert Schuman, devait obliger Conrad...

  Ce qu'il faut sans doute retenir de cette phase de l'histoire est que tous les leaders de l'ancienne colonie africaine, de quelquetendance qu'ils fussent, étaient d'accord à la fois sur le principe de l'indépendance et sur la nécessité d'une période plus ou moinslongue de coopération avec la Belgique.
