France's involvement in the Cold War was characterized by a desire to assert its independence and maintain its status as a major power. Initially aligned with the United States and NATO, France, under President Charles de Gaulle, sought to distance itself from American influence, promoting a more autonomous foreign policy. This included developing its own nuclear deterrent through the concept of "grandeur," leading to a withdrawal from NATO's integrated military command in 1966. Despite these efforts, France remained engaged in global conflicts and decolonization struggles that were influenced by Cold War dynamics.
