From Triumph to Disaster: France's Military and Political Defeat in 1940 and Its Origins
39.99 €
The military and political collapse of France in the summer of 1940 was one of the turning points of the Second World War, which predetermined its course and thus influenced the future of the entire European continent. The reasons for the crushing defeat of the French army, which since 1918 was considered one of the strongest in the world, and the subsequent fall of the Third Republic, are still controversial among historians. Did they follow the entire course of social, political and economic development of France after the First World War? What came first, a military defeat or a political crisis in French society, which had not found answers to the challenges of the era? What role in these dramatic events played individual historical figures - Edward Daladier, Paul Reynaud, Philippe Petain, Charles de Gaulle? This book attempts to answer these questions. The authors focus on the French foreign and defense policy of the interwar period. The analysis of its origins and contradictions is devoted to the first section of the book. The second section concerns France’s direct involvement in World War II. For a comprehensive study of the problem, an extensive body of sources and the latest literature is involved.
