France and Germany were during the interwar era one of the key elements of international relations. They were the two most involved powers in World War I. This war was not the last as many people hoped. Once again the two powers were very involved in the Second World War. Therefore, it is essential to analyse and compare the foreign policies of France and Germany to understand the breakout of the war. In this paper we will compare the foreign policies of both Germany and France and point up the impact of these policies on international relations and international order. First we have to consider the opposition of the two policies and then highlight the continuity of these policies during all the interwar era.
