Rassemblement du Peuple Français

Rassemblement du Peuple Français (RPF) was a French political movement founded by Charles de Gaulle in 1947. It aimed to promote Gaullist principles, emphasizing strong national leadership, sovereignty, and social cohesion, especially in the aftermath of World War II. The RPF sought to unite various conservative and patriotic groups to rebuild France and restore its status as a major world power. Though it was influential in shaping post-war politics, the movement eventually declined in the 1950s, with de Gaulle focusing on establishing the Fifth Republic and his presidency.
