Abstract
Europe is a melting pot of diverse cultures, civilizations and amalgamation of various
ethnicities. It is a land which faced many catastrophes, high intensity conflicts and wars.
Two world wars have been fought on this land. Almost all the major nations
participated directly or indirectly at massive scale. Franco-German axis is a term to
explain the relations of both the countries in the context of their mutual cooperation and
their significant role in contemporary political affairs of Europe. Post war era 1945,
congenial atmosphere of synchronization between both the countries replaced three
century old French- German hostility. This tandem performed active role not only in the
politically integrated European nation but also they played a vital role in the formation
of single currency euro as well. Comparatively their functioning is becoming slow but
they are still necessary for future of Europe. It is a general impression that the FrancoGerman alliance is facing critical phase, or in other words they are no longer being
capable to act as the twin motor of European integration but Europe do not have an
appropriate replacement. As far as the future of Franco-German relationship or
leadership is concerned it acted necessary of European Union’s twin motor in the past
but in recent years national interest became more supreme than the interest of European
Union as a whole.
