The relationship between Canada and France has always been
complicated by the Canadian federal government's relations with
Quebec. In this first study of Franco-Canadian relations during the
Second World War, Olivier Courteaux demonstrates how Canada's
wartime foreign policy was shaped by the country's internal
divides. As Courteaux shows, Quebec's vocal nationalist minority
came to openly support France's fascist Vichy regime and resented
Canada's involvement in a 'British' war, while English Canada was
largely sympathetic to de Gaulle's Free French movement and
accepted its duty to aid embattled Mother Britain. Meanwhile, on
the world stage, Canada deftly juggled ties with both French
factions to appease Great Britain and the United States before
eventually giving full support to the Free French movement.
Courteaux concludes this extensively detailed study by illustrating
Canada's vital role in helping France reassert its position on the
global stage after 1944. Filled with international intrigue and
larger-than-life characters, Canada between Vichy and Free France
adds greatly to our comprehension of Canada's foreign relations and
political history.
