Was going to wait and see"... (French diplomacy performs its official duties) This cartoon by Boris Yfimov was published in the Izvestia newspaper on April 20, 1924, illustrating the French position at the British-Soviet conference. 14 years would pass, and France would no longer be on the sidelines - it would be a participant in the Munich conspiracy, when the joint actions of Great Britain and France would suggest World War II. On another note, this cartoon is very applicable today, a century later - with the EU adopting a "wait and see approach" outside of another potential conference.
