المكونات

الاتحاد الفرنسي كان يتكون من خمس مكونات:

  1. Metropolitan France, which included الجزائر الفرنسية.
  2. 'Old' colonies, notably those of the جزر الهند الغربية الفرنسية في الكاريبي التي أصبحت Overseas departments في 1946.
  3. 'New' colonies, renamed Overseas territories.
  4. محميات الهند الصينية الفرنسية. وكان من المتوقع أن محميات أخرى سوف تصبح جزءاً من الاتحاد الفرنسي، إلا أن حكام المغرب الفرنسي وتونس الفرنسية رفضوا أن يصبحوا أعضاء ولم ينضموا أبداً.[1]
  5. United Nations Trust Territories، مثل انتدابات الكاميرون الفرنسية وتوگولاند الفرنسية، خليفة عصبة الأمم.


التاريخ

The French Union was established by the French constitution of October 27, 1946 (الجمهورية الرابعة). Under it, it was said that there were no French colonies, but that metropolitan France, the overseas departments, and the overseas territories combined to create a single French Union, or just one France.[2]

The goal of this union was "assimilation of the overseas territories into a greater France, inhabited by French citizens, and blessed by French culture."[3] Whereas the British colonial system had local colonial governments which would eventually evolve into separate national governments; France wanted to create a single government under a single French state.[3]

This French Union had a President, a High Council and an Assembly. The President was the President of the Republic. The Assembly of the Union had membership from the Council of the Republic, from the National Assembly and from regional assemblies of the overseas territories and departments but ultimately had no power.[4] The High Council ultimately only met three times, first in 1951.[5] The Assembly was the only actually functioning institution that could manage legislation within the overseas territories.[3]

In reality, the colonial areas had representation but all power remained in the French Parliament and thus was centralized.[3] The colonies had local assemblies but these had only limited local power.[3] Instead, various natives of the overseas territories in metropolitan France grew into a group of elites, known as evolués.[3]

On January 31, 1956, hoping to having peace in Algiers, the system changed, abandoning assimilation in favor of autonomy, allowing territories to develop their own local government and to eventually gain their independence.[6] This would not succeed however and in 1958 the French Union was replaced by the French Community by Charles de Gaulle's Fifth Republic wherein France was now a federation of states with their own self-government.[7]
