Unable to agree on objectives, global forest treaties and negotiations since 1992 have become non-binding with strong opposition.

This also helped stabilise Germany, as they were now paying reparations again and sticking to the Treaty of Versailles. Then in 1925 Germany signed the Locarno Treaty which guaranteed Germany’s frontiers with France and Belgium, and in 1926, as a result of her co-operation over Locarno, Germany was allowed into the League

"Farmer George," he called himself. His arch-opponent, George Washington, had the same fondness for farming. He too enjoyed riding about his lands and talking about the crops. Indeed there was nothing else he enjoyed quite so much. But there the likeness ceased. And among the many other matters that differentiated George Washington

These groups represent the interest of multiple sectors of both social and economic life within the European Union. Interests range from AGRICULTURE to BIG BUSINESS to HUMANITARIAN AID.

The First World War The First World War began as a spark and exploded into a merciless blood bath of money, power, and land. The little spark began in the mountainous Balkans of southeastern Europe where small state-sized nations argued back and forth. For hundreds of years many of these small nations were held under the gripping powers of Turkey, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. It started in the capital of Bosnia, Sarajevo. Bosnia was also a mini-nation of the Austria-Hungary Empire. On the
