Prances curious form of government proportional representation with multiple parties is a product of the fear of Napoleon ism a fear which has Bern aggravated by the emergence of dictators subsequent to world War i Mussolini Hitler Stalin Franco to mention Only the important ones. Ii is for this reason that de Gaulle has been feared. Ordinarily de Gaulle would have been regarded As one of Frances great heroes his maintenance of a French government in exile during world War ii his rebuilding of the French army while the War was in process his rejection of the Blandishments of Vichy his insistence that conquered France must be regarded As a primary Power and Given Equality of treatment with the United states great Britian and soviet russian these were heroic acts. But he was not invited to Yalta because he had irritated Roosevelt. Churchill and Stalin who had found him temperamentally difficult to work with.

But he could not last. When de Gaulle fell he retired sulking to his country Home. France was trying during 1945 to write a new Constitution which de Gaulle opposed.
