Britain EU Journey
FILE – In this Nov. 12, 1944 file photo, Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill, left, and General Charles De Gaulle, centre, salute at France’s Unknown Warrior at the Arc De Triomphe in Paris. Though allies in World War II, De Gaulle twice vetoed Britain’s application in the 1960s to join what was then known as the European Economic Community. Britain eventually joined in 1973 after De Gaulle’s successor, Georges Pompidou, lifted France’s veto. On Jan. 31, 2020, Britain is scheduled to leave what became known as the European Union.
