What will be an ideal response?
Ans: More than other European states, France attempted to keep its sovereignty while confronting unprecedented challenges. Good essays should include an examination of economic, social, and political developments from the Fourth Republic to the Fifth Republic and from de Gaulle to Mitterrand. French leadership in philosophy (existentialism) and feminism (de Beauvoir) should be included. Particularly important are French decolonization and the relationship of France to supranational institutions, in particular, NATO and the European Economic Community.
