Conclusion
From the Paper:
"In the 1960s, the United States began to lose some of its power, due to incidences such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. However, Europe had recovered from World War II, and "slowly began to put its footprints on the world arena. Germany still suffering from the shame of Nazism, plunged itself into an economic revolution, and slowly became a first class economic power in the early 1970s. Under the leadership of Charles De Gaulle, France quickly established itself a niche in Europe by serving the central point for economic integration (Asmar, 1999)."
