This is a website displaying a political cartoon. The purpose of this cartoon is to show the European Coal and Steel Union and how countries are working collaboratively. The limitations are that in this cartoon we don't know which countries are represented, it can be assumed that it's France and Germany but not proven true. This helps what we have learned in class because it shows the need for balanced power or else one person (country) attains too much of the coal or too much power.
