| ARTICLES RELATED TO Paul Reynaud | | | |  Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Charles de Gaulle - 1946–1958: The desert crossingDe Gaulle's opposition to the proposed constitution failed as the parties of the left supported a weak presidency to prevent any repetition of the Vichy regime. The second draft constitution narrowly approved at the referendum of October 1946 was even less to de Gaulle's liking than the first.
In April 1947 de Gaulle made a renewed attempt at transforming the political scene with the creation of the Rassemblement du Peuple Français (Rally of the French People, or RPF), but the movement lost impetus after initial success. In May 1953 he withdrew aga ...

| | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Charles de Gaulle - 1940–1945: The Free French Forces On June 18, de Gaulle prepared to speak to the French people, via BBC radio, from London. The British Cabinet attempted to block the speech, but was overruled by Churchill. In France, de Gaulle's "Appeal of June 18" could be heard nationwide in the evening. The phrase "France has lost a battle; she has not lost the war", which appeared on posters in Britain at the time, is often incorrectly associated with the BBC broadcast; nevertheless the words aptly capture the spirit of de Gaulle's position. Although only few people actually heard the s ...

| | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Charles de Gaulle - May 1968 De Gaulle's government, however, was criticized within France, particularly for its heavy-handed style. While the written press and elections were free, the state had a monopoly on television and radio broadcasts (though there existed private stations broadcasting from abroad; see ORTF) and the executive occasionally told public broadcasters the bias that they desired on news. In many respects, society was traditionalistic and repressive. Many factors contributed to a general weariness of sections of the public, particularly the stude ...

| | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Battle of France - Prelude Following the Polish September Campaign of the preceding year, a period of inaction called the Phony War occurred between the major powers. Hitler originally planned for an invasion as soon as 12 November but was convinced by his generals to postpone the invasion until the following year. The overall aim was the defeat of the Western European nations as a preliminary step to the conquest of territory in the East, thus avoiding a two-front war. In April 1940, the Germans launched an attack on the neutral countries of Denmark and Norway for strategic reasons. The British, French and Free Poles responded by launching an Allied camp ...

In perfect health until then, it was reported that as he had finished watching the evening news on television and was sitting in his armchair he suddenly said "I feel a pain here", pointing to his neck, just seconds before he fell unconscious due to an aneurysmal rupture. Within minutes he was dead. His last wish was also a final slap to the establishment and protocol. He specifically asked to be buried in Colombey ...

| | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Charles de Gaulle - Retrospect Though controversial throughout his political career, not least among ideological opponents on the left and among overseas strategic partners, de Gaulle continues to command enormous respect within France, where his presidency is seen as a return to political stability and strength on the international stage.
Domestically, for all its flaws, he presided over a return to economic prosperity after an initially sluggish postwar performance, while maintaining much of the social contract evolved in previous decades between employers and la ...

This railway car was lost in allied air raids on the German capital of Berlin later in the war. Paul Reynaud, France's Prime Minister, was forced to resign due to his refusal to agree to surrender.

| | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Norwegian Campaign - Analysis The operation as planned was a decisive success for Germany. Both Denmark and Norway were occupied with relatively light casualties: 3,800 Germans killed and 1,600 wounded. Surprise was almost complete, particularly in Denmark, and only in the Narvik area did the invasion prove problematic. The Luftwaffe lost about 100 aircraft, or roughly 10% of the force committed. At sea, however, the invasion proved a significant setback. The Kriegsmarine lost 3 cruisers, 10 destroyers, and 6 submarines, leaving the navy threadbare during the summer months when Hitler ...

| | | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Vichy France - The fall of France and the establishment of the Vichy regime France declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939 following the German invasion of Poland. After the eight month Phony War the Germans launched their offensive in the west on 10 May 1940. Within days, it became clear that French forces were overwhelmed and that military collapse was inevitable. Government and military leaders, deeply shocked by the debacle, engaged in debate over how to proceed. Many officials, including the Prime Minister, Paul Reynaud, wanted to move the government to French territories in North Africa, and continue the w ...

| | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Vichy France - German invasion November 1942 President Roosevelt continued to cultivate Vichy and promoted General Henri Giraud as a preferable alternative to de Gaulle, despite the poor performance of Vichy forces in North Africa—Admiral François Darlan had landed in Algiers the day before Operation Torch with the XIXth vichyst Army Corps, only to be neutralised within 15 hours by a 400-strong French resistance force. Nonetheless, Admiral Darlan was accepted by Roosevelt and Churchill as the French leader in North Africa, rather than de Gaulle. The United States also resented the F ...

It was decided to send troops to both locations as a compromise.

| | | | | Paul Reynaud: Encyclopedia II - Norwegian Campaign - Norwegian situation The German invasions for the most part achieved their goal of simultaneous assault and caught the Norwegian forces off guard, a situation not aided by the Norwegian Governments' order for only a partial mobilization. Not all was lost though, as the repulsion of German Gruppe 5 in the Oslofjord gave a few additional hours of time with which the Norwegians used to evacuate the Royal family and the Norwegian Government to Hamar. With the government now fugitive though, Vidkun Quisling used the opportunity to take control of a radio broadcasting ...

Norwegian Campaign - Value of Norway.
Both the United Kingdom and France had signed military assistance treaties with Poland, and two days after Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, both western nations declared war against Germany. However, neither country opened up a western front, and no shots were fired between the sides for several months in what became known as the Phony War.
During this time, both sides were looking for secondary fronts. For the Allies, in particular the French, it was based ...

With the end of the Winter War, the Allies determined that any occupation of Norway or Sweden would likely do more harm than good, possibly driving the neutral countries into alliance with Germany. The new Prime Minister of France, Paul Reynaud, took a more aggressive stance then his predecessor though, and wanted some form of action taken against Germany.
It was agreed to utilize Churchill's naval mining offense Operation Wilfred, designed to remove the sanctuary of the ...

He graduated in 1912 and decided to join an infantry regiment when he could have joined an elite corps.
