Abstract
The article considers the process of difficult, confrontational interaction between two long-standing Euro-pean rivals, France and Germany. Using specific historical examples and events, the author explores not only the style of political and diplomatic behaviour of the two countries, but also the deep-rooted collective perceptions of the French and Germans in relation to each other. The specific historical analysis carried out within the framework of this article allows concluding that a stable stereotype of the ‘enemy’ was formed and rooted in the people’s minds on both ends of aggravated Franco-German relations. The study of the phenomenon of Franco-German relations in the post-Versailles period makes it possible to assess the political and diplomatic, emotional and psychological, socio-economic and international consequences of the confrontation between the two countries, the basis of which was a the collective confrontation saturated with mutual dislike and hostility.
