Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia - 20th century

The 20th century lasted from 1901 to 2000 in the Gregorian calendar. Common usage sometimes regards it as lasting from 1900 to 1999. The 20th century is also sometimes known as the nineteen hundreds (1900s). However, a number of arguments have been used to justify the common usage. One advanced by Stephen Jay Gould is that the first decade had only nine years, thus contradicting the definition of decade equaled 10 years. Another argument is that the astronomical year numbering system for years does have a year zero, the ...

Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia - Authority

In politics, authority generally refers to the ability to make laws, independent of the power to enforce them, or the ability to permit something. People obey authority out of respect, while they obey power out of fear. For example, "the congress has the authority to pass laws" vs "the police have the power to arrest law-breakers". Authority need not be consistent or rational, it only needs to be accepted as a source of permission or truth. Authority - Authority topics. Authorit ...

Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia II - Puppet state - Accusations of puppet states since 1900

Puppet state - World War II. The Allies in World War II accused their enemies, the Axis powers, of setting up puppet states in their conquered territories.

These included: Belgium (1939-1945) - The violent Rexist movement had achieved some electoral success in the 1930s and many of its members assisted the N ...

Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia II - Vichy France - Vichy composition and policies

The composition of the Vichy cabinet, and its policies, were mixed. Many Vichy officials such as Pétain, though not all, were reactionaries who considered that France's unfortunate fate was a kind of divine punishment for its Republican character and the actions of its left-wing governments of the 1930s (see Popular Front). Reactionary writer Charles Maurras judged that Pétain's accession to power was, in that respect, a "divine surprise"; and many people of the same political persuasion judged that it was preferable to have an authoritari ...

Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia II - Pursuit of Nazi collaborators - Background

The main motives for the apprehension of suspected collaborators were: Trial and, if guilty, punishment of traitors, for example members of the Waffen-SS British Free Corps. Revenge for those killed, especially those killed on ethnic grounds in the Holocaust (principally amongst Jews and Russians) A desire after a bitter war, to see those responsible face justice, and be characterised as criminals under a court of law (See Nuremburg Trials). To ensure that the acts done were brought to light ...

Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia II - Reactionary - European reaction

The reaction arose in Europe in response to the French Revolution, which, to some extent, embodied the ideas of the Enlightenment. Upon the regicide of the French King Louis XVI, the revolutionists signalled a "worldwide uprising against all monarchists, an uprising to be led by France's armies." (2) Furthermore, the revolution set precedents in undermining (or even completely eliminating) the power of the aristocracy through the confiscation of feudal estates. Under the liberal monarchists of 1789, some of the vast estates of the clergy and ...

Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia II - Action Française - Ideology

The ideology of the Action Française was dominated by the thought of Charles Maurras, following his adherence and his conversion of the movement's founders to monarchism. The Action Française supported a restoration of the monarchy and of Roman Catholicism as the state religion even though Maurras was an atheist. It should not be considered that the movement intended to restore real power to the king, merely to set him up as a rallying point in distinction to the Third Republic of France which was considered corrupt and unworkable by many ...

Philippe Pétain: Encyclopedia II - Military history of France during World War II - Overview

After the vicious battles and expense of World War I, France spent large sums of money to build the Maginot Line. The idea behind the line was to protect key industrial areas, give the French Army time to mobilize, and make up for inevitable numerical shortcomings. The Line stretched from Switzerland to the Ardennes, which were not considered passable by German troops. As Belgium had declared itself neutral, the Line was only weakly continued through Belgium. The consensus among Allied leadership (such as Supreme Commander Maurice Gam ...
