The funny thing is that these meetings are often not so famous… (As David’s presentation illustrated.)
The question is also what kind of meetings would qualify… For example, when I watched a documentary about the history of Canada, I noticed at least two meetings that seemed pivotal for the history of the country. One took place long before Canada was founded. Unfortunately I don’t recall when it was and what exactly happened there, but it was between the French settlers and several native tribes (if you know which one I mean, please let me know!). And the other one was the Quebec Conference in 1864 which layed the foundation of what today is Canada.
But would it be relevant for your book? Is it more important that, for example, the Wannsee conference, where the Nazis decided the so called “Endlösung”?
