The UK and France committed suicide by starting two world wars they could not win.

@@MarkHarrison733 Huh? The first World War was started by the Austrians, the second by an Austrian.

@@BB-ry2nd The British Empire sided with Serbian terrorists in 1914, and backed the Soviet invasion of fascist Poland in 1939. Hitler was German.

A perfect summary of his life and achievements, indeed.

The SoB was "leading" the liberation of France from private clubs in London's West End.

Thankyou Peter for sharing your thoughts. De Gaulle still inspire people who wanted to live a life beyond ordinary and for something worthwhile.

France is what it is because of colonialism

También tenía sus defectos. Un hombre soberbio y terco, distanciado de los jóvenes de su país, con cierto resentimiento inexplicable hacia el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos pese al enorme apoyo y sacrificios que estos países prestaron a Francia en la Guerra. Las protestas del 1968 derivaron en parte del descontento popular con su Gobierno.

@@briandavid6879 _" with a certain inexplicable resentment towards the United Kingdom and the United States"_ There was no resentment from his part. He simply didn't want France to be occupied again, this time by the US. The US that occupied West Germany and the rest of Western Europe, like Italy and the other small countries. De Gaulle saw that coming, when the US did its best to push him aside and supported Pierre Laval, a Nazi collaborator, for the presidency of France, . Note that Pierre Laval was prime minister in the government of Phillipe Petain who fully collaborated with Adolf Hitler, but the Americans wanted him instead of De Gaulle who simply refused to bow to Washington, in fact he told the US president, _"I am too poor to bow to you."_ Laval was tried and executed 6 months after the end of WWII. Also note, that the US and the UK were not keen that France obtains a permanent seat in the United Nations, but it was thanks to Joseph Stalin support that France obtained it. The US wanted France to be another European vassal, Charles de Gaull refused, the Washingtonians hated him and his guts. _"The 1968 protests derived in part from popular discontent with his government."_ It was a color revolution during the Hippie movement. The US did not like two things that Charles de Gaulle did. 1- He took France out of NATO. 2- He ordered the Bank of France to increase the amount of payments in gold that was stored in New Work Federal Reserve, later on, a French warship was sent to bring back the gold France had stored in the US, the French knew the coming plan of Richard Nixon about decoupling the US dollar from the gold standard. Charles de Gaulle never claimed that he is perfect, but he was nobody's fool, and the Washingtonians couldn't stand him for that.

CHARLES REVIENT...ILS SONT DEVENUS FOUS..

He was uncharitable to England who gave him a home and protection in 1940

@@briandelaney9710 Churchill begged him to come but tried to discard him once he was was not as malleable as expected and the USA and the British tried to replace him with Giraud. De Gaulle kept the British out of the EU and it is a good thing he did so. De Gaulle predicted the UK would fight the EU from the inside as history proved happened. It was the UK who forced the membership of the eastern EU countries and the veto power of a single state , and then left. On a side note: look up how the British treated the Poles who performed splendidly during the Battle of Britain. As Dowding said: “Had it not been for the magnificent work of the Polish squadrons and their unsurpassed gallantry, I hesitate to say that the outcome of battle would have been the same.” They were not even allowed to march in the victory parade. De Gaulle owned the British nothing except a collaboration that benefited both sides, like the Concorde.

He could have been lieutenant, he would have done the same, but hardier for stupid universal grade recognition reasons. Who cares?

@@user-lt6xp1wx9f In 1925 he was a captain. Marshall Petain chose him to write a book about military tactics after large number of notes that he wrote in his long career. A contract was signed with an editor precising the amount to be payed to Charles de Gaulle. De Gaulle instead of writing a book, wrote several books after Petain's notes all under his own name and got gradually higher positions to reach colonel only after 13 years from captain and the book for Petain got dissolved. He didn't got the initiative to go to London, it was Paul Reynaut who asked him to organize an external French opposition from London. If on June 18th he has announced on BBC, me Colonel De Gaulle, join me, I don't believe he would have convinced other officers to do so.

Not a fan either - an obstructive difficult man and leader.

CIA, sionists, syndicats.

The UK has also been hoisted by its own petard, by saying Leave. Karma is like that.

So? How is that supposed to be a problem? Many leaders across the world have a HUGE ego, many of them are arrogant, and many of them actually do believe to be the center of the world. As long as they do a good job and, most importantly, as long as they're not bloodthirsty tyrants like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or Mao. Roosevelt HATED De Gaulle. Churchill and Roosevelt had contempt for De Gaulle and perhaps it had something to do with the fact that they were like in some sort of exclusive club of English-speaking leaders and they were like ''get away little French''. I don't hate Churchill but he was equally an arrogant and easily self-satisfied gentleman (although he was pretty badass and sometimes funny). As for Roosevelt, I simply don't like that man, he hated almost everybody: he really didn't like France at all. He hated the Germans (which is understandable since they were the enemies during W.W.2 but it's not just that he hated the nazis because nazis, he hated the Germans BECAUSE Germans). He also hated the Japanese (which is also understandable because, during W.W.2, the U.S. was at war with Imperial Japan in the Pacific Ocean but Roosevelt didn't just hate the Japanese soldiers of the Imperial Army, they hated ALL the Japanese). He also hated the Russians not just ''because Soviets'' but ''BECAUSE RUSSIANS''.

The similarities in the life’s of both men are strikingly.

churchill the war criminal of the jews

Churchill is said to have whispered to a companion as both of them watched de Gaulle walk by: "There but for the grace of God goes God himself."

@@benedictdesilva6677 Hé was a strange man. Very simple in his personal habits but when he represented France, nothing could be good enough. People tend to forget he was accepted by his fellow French as the leader of the Free French in London. He was not exactly a buffoon. :)

​@giorgosfylaktou2610 Where was CDG in exile from 1940 until 1944. It was London. The allied forces reluctantly included CDG in the events building up to D-Day which was on the 06 June 1944. No French forces were involved in the D Day landings. The success of the allied forces in Normandy allowed for the liberation of Paris. It was the US Army that gave permission for CDG to be present in Paris on liberation day. That's how it more or less all started for CDG as he was a relatively unknown senior French army officer before 1940. But nonetheless he was a great man of his time and someone who I have always admired.

It is one of the French paradoxes, the more time passes, the more the political choices of General De Gaulle, sometimes taken against the dominant opinion in France, are validated by his former political opponents, some of whom had even attempted assassination at the time. -Former supporters of Marshal Pétain recognized the relevance of his decision in June 1940 to oppose the armistice with Germany and to continue the struggle alongside the English, which was not obvious at the time after the episode of Mers El Kebir on July 3, 1940. -Former supporters of the"French Algeria and colonization recognize the relevance of its decision to decolonize in order to rid France of the economic burden represented by its colonies that encumbered its economic growth and prevent the majority Muslim population in Africa especially in Algeria does not become a majority in France because for De Gaulle maintaining French Algeria would have forced France to grant the right to vote to all Muslims in Algeria and not to a minority as at the time , so that with the Algerian Muslim demography, the Muslim population would have become the majority in France. Algerian independence prevented this. Its decision to endow France with atomic weapons and to bet on nuclear power plants to ensure the energy independence of France in case of crisis or conflict is today recognized as the most relevant notably with the Ukrainian Russian conflict with a Germany who abandoned nuclear power and became dependent on Russian gas. France is the 3rd country in number of nuclear warheads with the 2nd world maritime domain so that its nuclear submarines wanted by De Gaulle can have bases all over the world and that the French nuclear fire is able to destroy the USA and Russia because for De Gaulle it is not necessary to destroy his enemy several times when only one time is enough. For De Gaulle, the USA are not friends but allies of circumstance that can become hostile to France as Roosevelt showed, hence the need for France not to depend for its defence on the American nuclear shield and NATO but to have its own independent nuclear force, hence De Gaulle’s decision in 1966 to have France leave the integrated NATO commanderMoreover the decision to activate the French nuclear force belongs to the only president of the French republic and does not need the endorsement of the Americans, unlike the British nuclear force which was equipped with the nuclear weapon by the Americans , unlike France, which the Americans described as a rogue state under De Gaulle for having acquired the atomic bomb without their approval and without its use depending on the Americans.Paradoxically, De Gaulle, in the midst of the Cold War, would come closer in the 1960s to the USSR before renewing the traditional alliance of France with Russia advocated by Napoleon’s Foreign Minister, Talleyrand, which he deplored in 1935, the abandonment by France because of the pressures of the British anti-communist leaders and allowed Germany in 1940 unlike 1914 to launch its entire army on France without fear of being attacked in the east by the Russians. According to De Gaulle, the alliance with Russia allows France to "oppose Germany and the Anglo-Americans. De Gaulle is a pragmatist and not an ideologist and never spoke of the USSR but of Russia because according to him the Soviets are Russians before being communists and geopolitics is stronger than ideology.According to the formula of De Gaulle, "Russia will absorb communism as the blotter absorbs water". The fall of the communist regime of the USSR in 1991 will prove him right because Russia is still present and Gaullist President Chirac in 2003 will try to reactivate the alliance with Russia to oppose the American invasion of Iraq. -The constitution of the 5th Republic and De Gaulle’s decision to have the President of the Republic elected directly by direct universal suffrage by the French people is now unanimously accepted by all the French and almost all the political class, Even by De Gaulle’s political opponents, such as the socialist Mitterrand who came to power in 1981, will not touch the constitution of the 5th republic, which he had constantly criticized when he was in opposition. The constitution over time to demonstrate its flexibility to cohabit a president and a government of opposite political tendencies and the elected president to continue to govern despite the absence of a parliamentary majority as is currently the case, so that the constitution of the 5th Republic of 1958 after 66 years of existence is the French political regime is now the most stable since the French Revolution of 1789 before the 65 years of the 3rd Republic (1875-1940)

vive un Québec libre!

I remember that

De Gaulle wasn't despised by FDR, Ike and Churchill. De Gaulle irritated them but they respected him.

@@TheMotz55 he nay have been respected as a leader, but he was considered an ingrate. He even irritated LBJ in 1966 when France withdrew from NATO.

@@cedricjoshuapayne no not necessarily, but if you are up on things then yeah obviously.but if you just a average dunderhead I would say no

I don't know from which country you are but in France, De Gaulle is a HUGE figure. Even in the political and cultural landscape of modern-day France, De Gaulle remains a reference and it is very frowned upon in French society to lack respect for the General. De Gaulle is among the big names of those who fought against Nazi Germany. He is a bit like the French equivalent of Winston Churchill (in fact the two men met several times in London). Oh and, he was President of France in the 60's.
