DeGaulle was a rather unique figure. France has been on the decline since the French Revolution and the decision of many of the French people to abandon Christianity.

Charles de Gaulle? You can stop right there. After France was liberated he emerged out of hiding to claim he was the was the man behind the liberation.

He insisted to the allies he wanted that recognition, they choked on it but they allowed him his ‘hero’ status.

When did France turn the corner for the worse?

How about 1688? That year, France's losing streak in wars began with the Nine Years' War, aka the War of the League of Augsburg or the War of the Palatine Succession. With the arguable exceptions of the War of the American Revolution, WWI, and some colonial conflicts, it continued through the Algerian War, which ended in 1962.

They have lost their nation in the name of diversity. They have allowed way too many muzzies in their nation.

The Day of the Jackal is a great book! The first version of the movie was very good, too.

But, it’s a thriller novel; it’s not a history documentary! How can one judge the competence of the French authorities from it, LOL?

Also, 1968 and the student protests. Amazing how brainwashed those students were. They truly believe Mao was a hero.
