History of France of the 20th century
Added: Why Category: History
With the fall of the French king Louis XVI as a result of the French Revolution of 1792, the era of republics began in France.
In the twentieth century, France entered the period of the Third Republic.
At this time, the cabinets of ministers were often changed in France and an internal conflict with the Catholic Church was growing.
Since 1905, the process of separation of the church from the state has become irreversible.
Internal economic and social problems captured the attention of the French leadership, until the beginning of the First World War.
Attention to foreign policy problems was shown by the new President of the Republic, Raymond Poincare, since 1913.
He was heading for an alliance with Russia.
Despite the efforts made, the war came as a surprise to all European states.
France bravely endured the hardships of the war, and with the entry of the United States into the war and the offensive of Russia, it was able to conduct a campaign to liberate its territories.
After the end of the war, the French economy was a ruin.
Hopes for reparations from Germany were not justified.
France was sliding into an economic crisis, which did not fail to break out in the 1930s.
Only thanks to the government of Leon Blum, the country did not slide into the abyss.
The rise to power of Hitler forced the French to seriously engage in foreign policy.
In 1935, Pierre Laval concluded a mutual assistance pact with the USSR.
The French government made a big mistake by agreeing to the division of Czechoslovakia, after the Nazis rejected the Sudetenland in 1938.
Following Chamberlain's example, Daladier condemned the German invasion of Poland.
Bound by a treaty with Poland, France entered the Second World War.
In May 1940, Germany defeated the troops of the French, Belgians and Dutch in 6 weeks.
On June 22, 1940, General Charles de Gaulle called on the French to resist.
At first, the sluggish Resistance intensified and operated throughout the entire period of the occupation, until the landing of Allied troops in Normandy and the Riviera in June and August 1944.
The Third Republic, which ceased to exist, became the basis for the emergence of the Fourth Republic on the basis of fraternity, economic equality and individual freedom.
The Constituent Assembly of 1946 adopted the Constitution of the Fourth Republic.
Since 1947, the Marshall Plan was adopted for the reconstruction of European industry with the prospect of integration of European countries.
With the beginning of the Cold War and the creation of the NATO bloc, an enormous burden fell on the shoulders of the French economy.
From 1954 to 1957, mass riots followed
The government was forced to transfer extraordinary powers to General de Gaulle, as the only authority capable of saving France from bloodshed.
On June 2, 1958, the Fourth Republic ceased to exist.
With the formation of the Fifth Republic and the adoption of the constitution, Charles de Gaulle became President of France.
He was president until 1969.
This was a difficult time for France.
The colonial system finally collapsed, a state crisis broke out as a result of the aggravation of social and economic contradictions and mass unrest of young people in 1968.
The next presidents of the Fifth Republic were:Georges Pompidou from 1969 to 1974 Valery Giscard de Sten from 1974 to 1981 Francois Mitterrand from 1981 to 1995 Jacques Chirac from 1995 to 2007 Nicolas Sarkozy from 2007 to 2012 Francois Hollande from 2012
Modern France is part of the European Union, since January 1, 1999, a new European currency, the Euro, was introduced into circulation.
