The French Union (French: Union française) was a political entity created by the French Fourth Republic to replace the old French colonial system, the "French Empire" (Empire Français) and to abolish its "indigenous" (indigène) status.
Contents |
Established by the French constitution of October 27, 1946 (Fourth Republic), it lasted until 1958, when it was replaced by the French Community by Charles de Gaulle's Fifth Republic.
The French Union was modelled on the British Commonwealth, which, by coincidence, became the Commonwealth of Nations that same year.
The French Union included France, French overseas départements, territories, settlements, United Nations trusteeships (Cameroun, etc.), French colonies (which became overseas départements of France) and associate states (protectorates) which became autonomous.
The associated states of French Indochina withdrew from the union in 1954; French Morocco and Tunisia gained their independence in 1956.
