France blocks Britain from Common Market bid
In Brussels France vetoes Britain's bid to join the Common Market, ending days of maneuvers. U.S. officials call the move a serious blow to European unity but vow the drive toward integration will continue. Dean Rusk and others seek to link the issue to broader Western European partnership. De Gaulle opposes a Europe tied to Britain, aiming for a Europe more independent of the United States. The veto triggers diplomatic fallout in London and Washington as Brussels confirms the five to one split.
