THE EUROPEAN IDEA OF A. BRIAND IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD

The main purpose of the study is to identify the reasons that hindered the integration processes on the European continent during the interwar period, based on new materials on this topic in the Western press. During the study, the main focus was on establishing the key facts that prevented Aristide Briand’s ambitious plans. A. Briand’s plan for the creation of the United States of Europe is being considered. The Memorandum of the European Federal Union on the organization of the system of the Federal European Union, the technical aspects of the organization of the System for the Federal Union of Europe, which includes a number of basic prerequisites at the initial stage of the process of building the European Community, are analyzed. On the basis of the Memorandum, proposals are analyzed for future research in the main areas in which the organization could be most attractive, determining its relations with the League of Nations and studying Europe’s external relations. The main methods are ideographic, comparative historical and retrospective. The research is carried out in accordance with the principle of historicism and is based on an extensive source base, which is based on recently digitized documents of the League of Nations, selected publications in the press and the works of Western historians.
