How did Charles de gaulle attempt to turn France into a world power?
France was already a world power; it had been a world power since at least the eighteenth century. However, following the devastation of World War II, decolonisation, and the beginning of the Cold War, France began to lose its historical position and feel more and more as just a cipher as part of the NATO Alliance. In particular, the French were concerned about being over-reliant on US military power, because they believed that the US might not come to the aid of Western Europe if the Soviet Union launched a full-scale invasion, which the US could only practically stop by using nuclear weapons and inviting its own destruction.
DeGalle tried to restore French prestige in a number of ways. He initiated a French nuclear weapons program that could be activated independently of NATO and the US nuclear shield. This was known as the Force de Frappe (strike force). He also, much to the enormous frustration and anger of the US, took the French military structure out of NATO. As a result, although France was still a NATO member, its troops were not subject to NATO joint command, and all foreign (ie. American troops) had to be removed from French soil. De Galle also tried to maintain French prestige by resisting decolonisation movements in Algeria, which sparked a vicious and bloody civil war. France has since gradually re-integrated its forces with the NATO command structure, though it maintains its independent nuclear deterrent.
