“The shattered body of France.” It was this appraisal by De Gaulle in 1946 that ushered in the 1950s and with it the farewell ceremony to the France of yesteryear. A bereavement for the earth, a bereavement for greatness: France was no longer a major power and its colonial empire was coming apart. The void left by the sudden resignation of the legendary liberator triggered a race to the abyss of parliamentary government: it would mark the end of the Fourth Republic. Everything needed to be rebuilt and reinvented. A mythical decade, the 1950s would see the realization of the most spectacular social, culture and political transformations, indeed the most painful transformations in its history.
