“It is one of the basic historical concepts of de Gaulle that the forms of government, social structures, and ideologies are only the outer garments that states and peoples wrap in during their history; however, their roots and permanent interests are stronger than all the revolutions and even the revolutionary currents are gradually forced back into the bed of their national history.”
