"internationalization" of Scotland and France[edit]
The following two 19th c. quotes about Scotland and France struck me as interesting:
- Before the union of the Scottish Crown with that of England, it had for a brief period been united with that of France. On this occasion, a complete legal internationalization was effected.
- To the French connection, which at one time amounted to an actual internationalization, ...
I'm wondering if these represent a distinct sense. The modifiers "complete" and "actual" seem to suggest there's some specific political/legal meaning at play here?
(OED has a sense that we currently lack of something coming under joint control of two or more nations, as in the internationalization of the Suez Canal, but that wouldn't seem to apply to these examples.) Colin M (talk) 17:52, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
