Full textBetween 1939 and 1945, the Tirailleurs sénégalais participate to all fights of the French Army within the colonial troops. They distinguish themselves in the campaigns of May and June 1940 and during the fights for Libération. They fight also in Africa and Middle East in the ranks of Vichy and of France Libre. In 1940, they are victims of exactions from the German troops that are still affected by the First World War and are being nazificated. Thereafter, the tirailleurs are emprisoned in France in Frontstalags. This experience allows them to discover the French society. These soldiers are mainly conscripts and reservists coming from French colonies of Black Africa. They take part of the conflict, as they did during the First World War when the Force noire was massively recruited. In 1939-1940, they are considered as "recourse" against the German power. The tirailleurs live in a neat world full of discipline, traditions and distinctions between Whites and Blacks. During the Second World War, the units of Tirailleurs experience lot of incidents, particularly in Thiaroye, in 1944. The black soldiers who are demobilized in 1944-1945 have a state of mind different from their elders'. The memory of these soldiers from the colonies is particularly vague. The idea of victim is the one dominating. The war veterans would have been forgotten. The cristallisation and the payment of the pension are strinking and are solved late

Full textFrom september to december 1940, Gabon was the theatre of military action between Frenchmen. These fights put to grips Gaullists and Vichysts. Coming from Cameroon in the North, and from Pointe Noire (French Congo) in the South, the Free French Forces rallied this colony, starting from inland, seldom by persuasion, most of the time by armed forces. Facing the authorities of this territory, which were stubbornly loyal to Vichy, General de Gaulle was compelled to go over to the offensive in order to break down the resistance of this colony. The point was to destroy this vichyst bridgehead so as to use this small territory as a back basis, in order to resume fighting at the side of the British Forces, especially on the Libyan battlefront. Libreville was the most important place for the operations of this civil war, which has been now willingly forgotten

Full textThe North of France, which was twice occupied by the German army, is an ideal area from which to examine the gender of the Resistance as well as the development of women’s constructions. This thesis aims at approaching the women’s Resistance and its representations, by means of repression and gratitude. The repression, as conducted by the OFK 670, revealed an earlier and diverse Resistance, the original feature of which lied in assistance. The repression also displayed the autonomy of women’s commitment to the Resistance. The majority of the female victims of the German repression have acted in an individual way. Nevertheless, the repression which touched them depended on sexual difference, through its chronology, its methods, its intensity. Post-war years were the time of a contrasted and ephemeral recognition. The political scene and field of honors opened up to the female members of the Resistance. Studying the different actors of gratitude (Resistance organizations, local powers, members of Resistance), its chronology – during the war, and once the war was over – and its cultural determiners, showed that women themselves represented the most important brake to the recognition of female resisters and women’s Resistance. Female members of Resistance had no interest in social recognition, thus they have ignored the step to obtain medals or status of « volunteer fighter of the Resistance ». At the same time, they have played a small role in the building of the Resistance memory, which can explain why, in the case of women, the figure of the victim competes with that of the Resistant

Full textMy dissertation examines the impact of the collective disobedience on individual lives, colonial communities and the gaullist ideology in Chad during the Second World War. After a a dissent on the 26th August 1940, this seemingly remote and marginal African colony became a military and political laboratory in which General de Gaulle’s organization faced a great number of political, military and colonial challenges. This work tries to contribute to three ongoing scholarly debates : the choices that people make in wartime and their repercussions ; the profound and ambiguous effects by the Second World War on colonial empires and imperialism ; the dialectic between mobilization and demobilization in the personal writings and memories. Drawing on documents collected in French, British and American archives, I analyze the different ways in which Free French soldiers, colonial administrators and so-called “indigenous” people from Chad had a specific combat experience which reworked the links between the French motherland and its colonies. Moreover, these ambiguities had been strengthened by the desert war. The military operations in Southern Libya between 1941 and 1943 implied an unexpected war violence. The rebelion which founded the Free French Chad was considered as a problem even by the colonial officers and administrors who organized it during the summer 1940. They believed that it deeply undermined their legitimacy as rulers of the Empire. Warfare in Chad was therefore conceived as a way to produce a renewed elite for France after its liberation. Nonetheless, these great expectations were at variance with the poverty and the boredom which damaged the combat motivation of the Free French troops. Furthermore, the chiefs who appeared thanks to the colonial dissent and the desert war had great difficulties to realize how much the German Occupation had changed their homeland

Full textThis study of 17 newspapers and 236 flyers conceived by German and Austrian resistance fighters in France during World War II have revealed the theoretical issues and to provide better knowledge of the authors, by re-evaluating the role of Austrians and Left groups which were not aligned with the politics of the Third Communist International. The messages are classified in three groups each linked to the objective pursued; recruitment, visibility and the definition of the group’s position. We can see that there are four main types of readers targeted: the first group are the potential sympathizers among the Wehrmacht soldiers, but also the repression services, the other resistance groups and finally the Allies, at the end of the conflict. The first part analyses the production of organisations initiated by the German and Austrian communist parties. From 1941 to 1943, the Travail Allemand (TA) aimed to restructure the networks which had been dismantled in 1939. From 1943, the militants were regrouped into new organizations like the CALPO and ÖFF depending on their nationality. Their objectives did not consist of carrying out national projects but rather to extend Soviet influence in the new states after war. The second part is dedicated to the Revolutionäre Kommunisten (RK) who were Austrian revolutionary communists denouncing all the other forces involved to build a radically different society. This piece of work draws an original and precise portrait of this group and its theoretical evolutions from 1935 to 1944. The third part is devoted to the study of Trotskyist groups which would like to have competed with communist organizations but who lacked the logistic and material means necessary. This group was active from 1943 to 1944 and its production brutally stopped with a wave of arrests. Our study shows that two political philosophies coexist and compete. The communists want to overthrow the National Socialist government to reestablish the traditional administrative and political structures and increase Soviet influence. The RKs and Trotskyists widen the stakes to fight against capitalism and by doing so, exceed the actions that we usually call “resistance”

Full textFrom July 11th, 1938, date of the law Paul-Boncour which allows for the first time a legal and official mobilization of the women, to the end of the Algerian War, the feminine staffs of the army do not stop increasing. Between 1939 and 1962, France is in war ceaselessly. Present on all the fronts since 1939, the women obtain little by little servicemen's status by the prism of the wars which succeed one another in Europe, then in Indochina and in Algeria. Defying the laws of the gender which forbade them the bearing of the military uniform, the women anticipate the legislative texts and so, force institutions to promulgate laws allowing them to reach the military career. However, this considerable overhang remains overhang in halftone because, in the term of three wars, the women stay outside the Army which limits their professional opportunities. In spite of the status of October 15th, 1951 which guarantees them career prospects on the long term, the cultural obstacles remain still numerous and the women soldiers are far from making the unanimity in the collective unconscious. The image of these women exercising a male profession in the traditionally male virtues of virility, courage and strength, sends back them constantly to the obsession of the denaturation of their biological sex. The weight of the traditions and the gendered assignments limit considerably their acceptance in the fighting memory. However, by choosing the army to serve France from the Second World War to the Algerian War, these pioneers opened the way to the feminization of the army which has never slowed down since
Pillot, Clémence. "“A cause for readjustment of values?”. English public schools and social inclusion (1914-1951)." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL111.
Full textThis thesis focuses on the nine leading English public schools from 1914 to 1951, i.e. from the Great War to the end of the first Labour majority governments. It looks back on the interwar years, when the Muscular Christian values championed by public schools were progressively challenged, and politicised criticism was levelled at the social exclusiveness of the private system. This study shows that during World War Two, public schools were confronted to bombings, the calling-up of masters, evacuation schemes and the war effort, and appeared more attuned to the national community. Lead players in the field of private education also expressed their wish to maintain a spirit of national cooperation beyond the war years. However, this work finally suggests that the educational reforms of the 1940s, including the Fleming Report, which recommended the admission of 25% of students from state schools, failed to bring public schools more in line with the state system in the post-war period
