(Denying the right of *Germans* to exist?)

Since then, France, in a fierce struggle for existence, is denying the right of Germans, Austrian, Hungarian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Bulgarians to exist. French are enough ignorant not to understand that:<br />The red army, with 360 divisions, equipped with prestigious artillery, supported by armor, and decent air force, would invade them and stop at the Biscay Bay. They ignore the Anglo Americans efforts and ultimate sacrifices to save them. What goes around comes around. One day they will get what are looking for, but this day will be the last day of Europe too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255499258004527912.post-66178672721965227872009-07-26T15:14:46.103-04:002009-07-26T15:14:46.103-04:00there is a plaque at le Petit Trianon noting the e...there is a plaque at le Petit Trianon noting the eventAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230099234950220374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255499258004527912.post-8499589442495254182009-06-11T10:17:25.276-04:002009-06-11T10:17:25.276-04:00I think you're mistaken, Steve.

Notice also the photoprahic match in my blog posting.<br /><br />Here's an excerpt of the Times of London's coverage, June 4 1920:<br /><br />"In somewhat gloomy weather the Hungarian Peace Treaty was signed at the Grand Trianon, Vesailles, this afternoon. It will be know in history as the Traite du Grand Trianon....The Galerie du Grand Trianon in which the delegates met much resembled hte Hall of Mirrors [where the Versailles Treaty was earlier signed]....M. August Denard, Minister of Labour and M Alfred Drasche-Lazaar, the Hungarian plenipotentiaries were introduced a quarter of an hour later [and] immediately led to seats provided for them on M.
