| After France surrendered to Germany in 1940 during World War II, General Charles de Gaulle escaped to London and organized Resistance forces in Britain, the French colonies, and within occupied France. De Gaulle gave this inspired speech when the Allies finally liberated France from German forces in 1944: “Paris, outraged Paris; Paris, broken Paris; martyred Paris, but liberated Paris, liberated by the men, liberated by its people, with the participation of the French army, with the support and participation of all of France, that is to say, of France in its entirety, of only one France, that is to say, the true France, the eternal France!” |
