I listed de Gaulle because of the Empty-Chair crisis (as evidence that France does call the shots - our own Jerome never tires to remind us that the day France threatens to pull out of the EU, Germany will fold again)

I listed Pompidou because of the end of Bretton Woods (with the gold repatriation)
