Abstract
On 30 August 1954, the French National Assembly dealt a final blow to the project of a European Defence Community. The EDC, agreed upon by the six founding members of the European Coal and Steel Community in Paris two years before, would have been composed of multinational military forces overseen by a supranational authority. The French rejection of the EDC meant that the US-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) took on European security issues alone, while the European Community focused on economic matters.
