Association of the Free French

The Association of the Free French was a political movement supporting Charles de Gaulle and the Free French Forces during World War II. It aimed to unify French resistance fighters, exiled government members, and sympathizers working against Nazi occupation and the Vichy government. The association promoted the ideals of free France, contributed to resistance efforts, and helped coordinate political activities abroad and within France. After the war, it played a role in re-establishing France’s government and national identity, emphasizing patriotism, independence, and the fight for a liberated France.
