France: a Republic that Doubts… and Surrenders
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The Popular Front, founded as a reaction to the menacing aggressiveness of those opposing the Gueuse, rekindled the aspirations for a democratic and social republic. The unexpected and victorious irruption of the workers undermined the inter-class dimension of the State without shaking up its power centre, the hotbed of a form of conservatism confused with stability. This was especially obvious in matters of diplomacy and finance, which were the source of defiance and revenge from 1938 to 1940, in a context of international tension. With great disappointment, it all led the regime to deviating from both its commitments and principles.
