About this Quote

This quote by Aristide Briand suggests that a federal link in between countries might be beneficial from both a political and social viewpoint. Briand is recommending that this link could be developed without infringing on the sovereignty of any of the nations involved. This could be interpreted as a require nations to come together in a union of sorts, where they might interact to benefit each other politically and socially. This might be viewed as a precursor to the European Union, which was established in 1993. The EU has allowed for the free motion of goods, services, and people between member states, as well as the establishment of a single currency. This has actually allowed for increased economic development and success for all member states. Briand's quote is a tip of the possible benefits of cooperation in between countries, and the importance of appreciating the sovereignty of each country involved.
