Charles de Gaulle: The Man Who Refused to Let France Fall

Описание: Charles de Gaulle rose from a determined young officer into the enduring symbol of French resistance during World War II. Born into a patriotic family and inspired by the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte, he pursued a military career that shaped his strategic vision and leadership style. After France’s collapse in 1940 and the armistice supported by Philippe Pétain, de Gaulle rejected surrender and delivered his historic appeal from London with the support of Winston Churchill. Declared a traitor by the Vichy regime, he built the Free French Forces and became the voice of resistance across occupied France. From exile to liberation, he led the restoration of French sovereignty, later founding the Fifth Republic and redefining presidential power. His leadership, resilience, and vision transformed him into a national icon who embodied France’s pride, independence, and refusal to accept defeat.
