BACKGROUND

France never truly recovered from the Iberian conflict of August 1996.
It never again fully trusted its European neighbors, although it
participated alongside them in the conflicts that followed with
Bangladesh, India and the New Soviet Confederation (NSC). With the US
and NSC effectively removed from participation as a major players on
the world stage, the EU was was the only remaining "superpower".
Rivalries grew between its members in mid 2002, especially between
France and the UK, and France officially withdrew from the EU later
that year. On the surface, it appeared the disagreement was being
fueled by the commonly held belief that France was failing to abide
by the spirit of the 1998 Code of Conduct on foreign arms sales, but
some believed the dispute had much deeper roots. By February 2003, the
UK and France were battling each other with economic sanctions and
embargoes, and each stepped onto the slippery slope to war once more.
