World War I had left the defeated nations of the world shattered and in a state of disrepair. As countries returned to peace, its citizens were eager to place the blame for their country's defeat. In France, the blame was placed on the weak and corrupt Republican government, the ideals of the French Revolution itself, and uprisings from socialists and communists in the final months of the war. Far right French leaders were initially impressed with the revolutions in Russia, but it became clear that Trotsky's unitarian ideology was not compatible with the far right movement.

abstract	World War I had left the defeated nations of the world shattered and in a state of disrepair. As countries returned to peace, its citizens were eager to place the blame for their country's defeat. In France, the blame was placed on the weak and corrupt Republican government, the ideals of the French Revolution itself, and uprisings from socialists and communists in the final months of the war. Far right French leaders were initially impressed with the revolutions in Russia, but it became clear that Trotsky's unitarian ideology was not compatible with the far right movement. Far right leaders from across France met in Lyon in 1918 to solidify their ideology. Representatives from the currently biggest right wing party, Action Francaise, met with disgruntled generals such as Philippe Petain, soldiers, and conservative politicians. Though they agreed on many ideas, the two groups split over their opinion on restoring the monarchy and establishing Catholicism as an official state religion. Marshal Petain's own opinion on the state itself being the highest power, and the only way to victory was through duty to the state and absolute loyalty to the state, quickly become the most popular ideology at the conference. Devorism had been born when the conference ended with the creation of the Parti Devorist Francais. The PDF quickly swelled in size as it spread across France. Marshal Petain would be killed by the Spanish Flu in 1918, resulting in a race for leadership. Eventually, the faction led by Charles de Gaulle would seize control. De Gaulle was extremely charismatic and French citizens rallied around him. Paramilitary forces working for the PDF used intimidation methods to gain the loyalty or silence those opposed to the PDF. In 1922, de Gaulle initiated his plan to gain power. His paramilitaries seized control of strategic points around the country, and he and 33,000 followers marched on the capital at Paris. Devorist troops gathered around Paris, and the republican government prepared for a siege, but ultimately the Prime Minister would resign and de Gaulle seized power.
