description: London had the largest community of the TmigrTs, the most evolved social structure, the most active political lobby, and the only financial assistance. Britain was also unique for having nothing political to gain from hosting the refugees. Carpenter (history, Massey U.) looks at the contradictions of the Protestant British helping the Catholic French but argues that the short interlude touched the hearts of the two countries.
