Synopsis

A speech by General de Gaulle, defending French sovereignty, denouncing the “liquidation” of French interests and the loss of power, reaffirming France’s right over these mandated territories, in the face of a weary public opinion and political class, and calling for a restoration of force to guarantee French influence, despite Anglo-American pressure and local aspirations for independence.
