GERMANY, THE CONTINUING CHALLENGE,
Abstract
To date, more than twenty years after the end of military hostilities in World War II, there is no stable order in Europe. None has existed since the end of World War I. The American presence in Western Europe, established after the end of World War II helped to safeguard peace and order in Europe, but peace has never been completely assured and hence order never been stable. The symbol of Europe's instability has been the division of the continent with divided Germany in its midst. While DeGaulle may have succeeded in ringing down the curtain on a period of post-war history, it may be doubted that he has taken a constructive step toward achieving political order in Europe.
