In this volume, an international team of historians consider the exile groups from Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Norway and Czechoslovakia, analysing not merely the relations between the plethora of exile regimes and the British government in terms of its military and social dimensions but also the legacy of this period of exile for the politics of post-war Europe. Particular attention is paid to the Belgian exiles, the most numerous exile population in Britain during World War II.World War, 1939-1945RefugeesWorld War, 1939-1945Governments in exileEuropeansGreat BritainHistory20th centuryRefugeesGreat BritainHistory20th centuryRefugeesEuropeHistory20th centuryGreat BritainEmigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945Refugees.World War, 1939-1945Governments in exile.EuropeansHistoryRefugeesHistoryRefugeesHistory940.53/08691Conway Martin1960-Gotovitch JoséMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810022103321Europe in exile4054420UNINA
