Military history of France - Themes in French history
The defense of both its own territory and its citizens overseas in later eras was driven by several military rivalries that often re-asserted themselves after other military objectives had been accomplished. These rivalries and objectives can often give a better understanding of French military history than a mere chronological listing.
Military history of France - France's imperial objectives
Starting in the early 16th century, much of France's military efforts were put behind securing its overseas possessions and putting down dissent among both French colonists and native populations. French troops were spread all across its empire, primarily to deal with the local population. This phase of French militarism only came to an end with its failed attempt to subdue Algerian nationalists in the late 1950s. However, even in the 21st century, many former French colonies still expect France to provide assistance to put down revolutionary activity.
Military history of France - Post-colonial status
Since World War II, France's efforts have been directed at maintaining its status as a great power and its seat on the UN Security Council despite the fact its military capability is being overtaken by the rising power of the People's Republic of China and India, among others. However, France has also been instrumental in attempting to unite the armed forces of Europe for their own defence in order to both balance the power of Russia and to lessen European military dependence on the United States. For example, for some time France withdrew from NATO over complaints that its role in the organization was being subordinated to the demands of the United States.
