- France is on its fifth republic. That's a lot of republics since 1789, but the reason they're on republic number 5 is perhaps the most interesting.

It should be noted that during the last presidential elections, several candidates proposed a 6th republic.
What would be the difference between the two? What would make a change a new Republic instead of a new Constitution, for example?
@@Alfonso162008 Benoit Hamon and Jean-Luc Mélenchon both proposed a "6th Republic" with a more parliamentary system and a less powerful presidency. Something like a compromise between the 4th and 5th republics - similar to Germany perhaps, a parliamentary democracy but with a strong executive (the Chancellor and his cabinet) responsible before the parliament.
@@jakubegermajer9841 why would that constitute a 6th Republic instead of a change in the Constitution? Why the need to call that an "nth Republic"?
@@Alfonso162008 We can amend the constitution . It have been done numerous time during the 5th republic . But any mahor change, like a change in the balance of power would result in a new one .
It's the french administration "why do simple when you can do it complicated" it's our slogan .
@@Alfonso162008 Well such a substantial change could hardly be achieved by simply amending or revising the current constitution. And in France a new constitution means a new republic.
edit: Also it's quite catchy as a campaign slogan, as it promises a substantial and permanent political change.
France to his African colonies: Guys please don’t leave!
Gabon: OK I’ll stay!
France: never mind you guys can leave!
Gabon: ):
It's crazy to think the countries that made up French West & Equatorial Africa are still paying France.
@@jmr1090 Look like this Myth is still alive while it has a lot of proof it's fake .
Gabon literally wanted to be annexed by France ,CDG said no ,and when they had to choose a flag for the country ,they wanted to add a little French flag in it (Like Australia/New Zealand flags have a UK flag in it) ans CDG still said no.

Remember in Spiderman Homecoming when that teacher comments on a captain america video saying "im pretty sure that guy is a war criminal now"? Thats what happened to French school kids in the 50s when talking about Philippe Petain
Well without the admiration. A huge bunch of the population called for his head on a spike, but Petain was actually graced and under house arrest until the end of his life. Graced by De Gaulle himself, after all until 1934 (not sure at one year close) the two were pretty good friends. They started an argument about the kind of reforms the army needed and who between Germany and communism was the biggest threat. The rest is history

History Matters viewers : Hey! I've seen this one!
Yeah but history matters messed up by saying that the state is officially known as the “fifth French Republic” which isn’t true, it’s colloquially known by that name but officially simply the “French Republic”, just like the previous 4 except for when the 3rd republic became fascist and renamed itself the “French State”
@@TheLocalLt While true that "Fifth French Republic" isn't the real official name of France today, "Fifth republic" and "French republic" are.
Aka it's a small nitpick.
MaxBuster interesting, I wasn’t aware that even “fifth republic” was used in any official context. But I did find the term on the French Republic website so it appears it’s true www.gouvernement.fr/en/how-government-works

You clearly have not read up on German Italian or most any other European countries constitution. Most all of them run through them like toilet paper.
Ann Onymous Germany hasn’t fallen from its own revolutions though. The German empire was only replaced by the entente, and nazi Germany was replaced by the allies. Their only real revolution is the rise of the Nazis
As for italy, they haven’t had a single revolution. Mussolini was appointed prime minister and then consolidated power. Then, he was replaced during wwii by the king, who appointed a different prime minister.
Meanwhile France has had at least four revolutions of its own people replacing their own government violently
@@sovietmuffin501 you sorta had me up to 4 revolutions, that's just bullshit. My point was all these countries ran through constittions like toilet paper for similar and related reasons and that none of them are particularly unique. Vichy was the lawful government and was fascist. Germany had plenty of revolutionary activity, so did Italy (benny got his start as a marxis then flipped). You want to act like fascist regimes are hum drum normal no biggie when in fact they are the monopolization of power in a dictatorship and the erasure of hte public private distinction.
Four revolutions lol in ur imagination maybe.
@@QuizmasterLaw Nope, that's not a joke, as a French I garantuee that he tell the truth. In France we had:
-1789 revolution
-the revolution of 1830
-the revolution of 1848
-The "Commune de Paris" (1871).
Yeah, four revolution.
And I didn't count all the coup and the less famous insurection.
Like:
-Two failed attempt of Napoleon the third to restore the Empire and one succesfull
-The insurection of the worker under the IInd republic
-The "100 jour" (return in 1815 of Napoleon the first before Waterloo.

France: *has 5 republics*
Sixth Republic of Korea: *_Are you challenging me?_*
Lmao I was just thinking the same thing
Add to the 5 republics (in chronologic disorder) :
- one "État français" (Vichy),
- two empires (Napoléon I and III),
- one ancient régime (before 1790),
- one chartiste monarchy (1814 and 1815-1830),
- one constitutionnal monarchy (1830-1848),
- one "gouvernement de défense nationale",
- one "gouvernement provisoire" (1871 and 1944-1946), as well as
- Paris commune (1871)...

@@candyneige6609 I look up and now
Spain only have two republics
Currently, Spain is a constitution monarchy
P.S: Unless if you are counting Franconist Spain as a Third Republic
@@Polavianus A constitutional monarchy is a de facto republic because in a constitutional monarchy, the title of "King" (or "Emperor" or whatever) is an elected position, where the people gets to vote on who becomes the King (or Emperor or whatever), and not only that, their term as King (or Emperor or whatever) usually only lasts a few years before new elections are held (though the rules of re-election differ by country). By contrast, in an absolute monarchy, the title of "King" (or "Emperor" or whatever) is a hereditary position, leading to power being held by a single family, known as the royal family, and in addition, when a member of that family becomes King (or Emperor or whatever), they get to keep that title for life, in other words, they get to remain King (or Emperor or whatever) until they die, in which case, the title usually passes on to their eldest son (though the exact rules of succession differ by country).
Going back to Spain, we know that the country is currently a constitutional monarchy, and therefore a de facto republic, meaning that, counting de facto republics, Spain is currently on its Third Republic
Actually, the United Kingdom, despite its name would tell you, is also currently a republic, albeit a de facto one, since it's currently a constitutional monarchy, and therefore a de facto republic, meaning that, when counting de facto republics, the United Kingdom is currently on its Second Republic, since it already had its First Republic, known as the Commonwealth of Great Britain.
By contrast, Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, and therefore not a de facto republic, since their title of "King" is hereditary and is therefore passed down through inheritance, and the current King of Saudi Arabia, Salman, is the son of Ibn Saud, who was once King of Saudi Arabia until his death, in 1953.

I guess we'll have 7th republics before the end of the century
Dude, Spain is on it's 3rd republic.
@@candyneige6609 ...Nope! It's a kingdom!
@@jeffreygao3956 A "kingdom" that is actually a republic that is, because Spain is actually a crowned republic, where it behaves as expected from a usual republic, except that there's a king, so Spain is indeed on it's 3rd Republic, just that this particular republic is crowned.
@@candyneige6609 No?
Republics are types of government that don't have a monarchy as a head of state
History of France, every month but each time a Louis is crowned it get's faster.
So de Gaulle was the last president of the 4th french republic and the first president of the 5th republic ?
Not exactly, he was the last prime minister (président du conseil) of the fourth Republic and indeed the first president of the fifth Republic.
René Coty was the president until January 1959, so technically he was the last president of the 4th republic and the first one of the 5th, but nobody really cares about René Coty.
@@jakubegermajer9841 Except Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath.
@@memoris3038
Yeah he was effectively given dictatorial powers to figure out the Algeria crisis and change the constitution
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
-Abraham Lincoln
@33 SixtyNine, he was leading his country into fighting a civil war, obviously some things need to be done that would be considered "radical."
@33 SixtyNine, okay, I will admit, that is true.
True
The most interesting is the fact that the 5th Republic has changed completely since 1958. Without changing the number of the constitution.
In 1958, the president was elected by a college of grand electors (mayors and other elected officials) since 1962, the president is elected by the people.
In the 1958 version, there was a balance of power between the President and the Prime Minister. After 1962, the regime had clearly become "semi-presidential".
In 1958 the President was elected for 7 years and the assembly for 5. Since 2000 the President is elected for 5 years.
Before, a President could face an opposition parliamentary majority (this happened between 1986 and 1988 then between 1993 and 1995 and finally between 1997 and 2002) he then had virtually no power (except in the area of diplomacy).
Since 2000, the President is elected in may and the assembly is elected a month later. Those who voted for the President give him a majority.
To sum up, in 1958, the Fifth Republic was a parliamentary system with a President elected by a college of grand electors. The President worked with a Prime Minister responsible to the assembly.
Since 2000; 5th Republic is, de facto, a Presidential regime with a Prime Minister who is nothing more than a "chief of staff" of the President.
While France is a presidential republic, it's neighbours went the other direction of being a parliamentary republic where the head of state is just a simple figurehead and a sepreate head of government actually has all the powers, Switzerland is the odd one out where it has a system that doesn't fit into any category of republics.
Will you do "why Poland is on its Third Republic"?
Or is it too short to explain in a separate video?
well, how long do it take you to say neighbor ?
I think the interesting thing in this video was mostly the transition to fourth to fifth, because it happened post WW2 through a coup-attempt. I think polands transitions are more obvious...
This is actually a very good question that requires a bit of explaining and is worthy of a video, especially when you realize that we do count the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as the first of these three and don't count the Polish People's Republic.
The regular modern word in Polish for "republic" is _republika_ but the Polish Republic is Rzeczpospolita Polska. Rzeczpospolita is a direct translation of the Latin term Res publica, used by the old Polish-Lithuanian state to refer to itself. It gets translated to English as "Commonwealth" in this context because calling a polity made out of a union of a Kingdom and a Grand Duchy and still having a monarch (even if elected) as its head a "republic" would be an oxymoron in any normal country. ;)
Due to the gradual Polonisation of Lithuanian elites (multiethnic to begin with) the old Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was by the end of its existence often referred to as Polish, or simply Poland even in some legal documents including the 1791 Constitution, even though the separation between its constituent parts; the Crown of the Polish Kingdom (usually just called the Crown) and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was technically kept. When an independent Polish state was reestablished in 1918 it viewed itself as the sole and direct successor of the old Rzeczpospolita, calling itself the Second Polish Republic (Rzeczpospolita Polska).
BTW the words Rzeczpospolita and Republika traditionally were used interchangeably for the other republics (like the Roman or Venetian) but now Rzeczpospolita refers exclusively to the Polish one.
Regarding the Polish People's Republic (Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa), we came to the conclusion that it was a stinky communist, Soviet puppet-state that didn't really deserve its name and therefore doesn't count.
@@Artur_M., damn, son. That was a neat story.

*gives liberties and freedom to the people*

If you think Revolutionary France gave anybody freedom, you're naive beyond measure.
@@Jim63071 they literally emancipated everyone legally and gave them equality
@@jeandarwin9143 And then starved and guillotined thousands, seized the gold of countless more and converted it into assignats, abolished property rights, destroyed churches, exterminated the population of entire regions (the Vendée), and had a secret police apparatus govern the state (Committee for Public Safety). Oh, and they imposed CONSCRIPTION for the first time in French history. Did you know that they did not have universal suffrage? The only people who were emancipated by the Revolution were a bunch of Nobles and bourgeois, who were always fighting with the King for power anyway. It's their history you've learned, which is why you're so ignorant. But hey, a piece of paper said everyone was equal, so it must have been a good thing, right?
Kerberos it was still better than the monarchs reign, as there was already starving going on. The first revolution was a rough start but ensured greater freedom in the future, and in the 1850s, this was achieved with the spirit of the French people and inspired by the first republic’s promises.
@@Jim63071 when he said it gave people liberties, he didn't went on the matter about if they were truly implemented or not
What do you meant when you said "Independance = losing french assistance" ? France stopped supporting countries which gained their independance with a war such as Algeria and Vietnam, or unilaterally declared independance, like Guinea. But the other countries stayed under heavy french influence for several decades. Even today France still have a special influence on most of its former african colonies (but this influence is collapsing in favor of other neo colonial power such as China)
official assistance, I'm pretty sure they didn't know france was gonna keep meddling into their affairs after independance and it's not like its wrong anyways since the aid money that france is giving isn't comparable to their work on their actual oversea territories. also you're confusing assistance and influence.
France went from
A Monarchy to a Republic to Dictatorship to a Republic again to Monarchy again to a Dictatorship again to a restored Monarchy to a Republic but Napoleon 3 felt cocky and brought back Monarchy then lost a war against Germany and went Republic again in just 90 years .
Well, they are persistent, if anything...

Well, that was a really quick video to explain all of that. Maybe a little too short, even you must keep it short for UA-cam. Talking about the future of the V republic, after 1958, would also be cool.
Kinda fun to hear as much about this subject in 6 minutes than in 1-2 hours in history class in French high school.
I went that way. Our French History is fascinating and Glorious
Nowadays in France DeGaulles is perceived as the same ways that the Founding Fathers are seen in the USA somehow. Everyone in the political spectrum refer at him and he clearly still have positive opinion in the population (he has been idealized through the years.) There is some kind of consensus around him. I suppose only a fringe of the population openly despise him, even his former ennemies (like the LePen clan) refers themselves as "Gaullist" nowadays. (Which is a HUGE joke, because Marine LePen got her party from her father, who founded his party in opposition to DeGaulle's policies.)
Only the far left and some part of the left don't define themselves as gaullists (maybe some parts of the far right but that's marginal)
@Sugarz Oh, you are refering to Bonapartism. It looks like it isn't right or left but most of the time it is right wing with some really minor aspects on left wing. Napoleon's rule for exemple was a regress on several things "won" by the revolution (and the previous Directoire wasn't really something you could define as left wing). He just kept all the symbols of the revolution such as the flag, which indeed was a left wing thing, but that's just something symbolic.
I really thought the same thing as you, but several things made me change my mind other time. If you are francophone and don't mind to see an opposite view of yours on bonapartism and gaullism, and (maybe) challenge your opinion on it, you should watch the youtube video "ni gauche ni droite, bonapartisme et confusionisme" from "Esprit Critique" The author is left/far left but is honest about it and when something is its opinion rather than objective facts he usually says it.
@Sugarz yeah, people are probably not educated enough to make a democracy such as what EC think it should work. It would need decades to reach this point, but there is probably some in between than this model of democracy and the fifth Republic...
@Sugarz With our current standard Athens would not be considered a democracy and the average french is much more educated than the average Athenian of the antiquity.
@Sugarz The part of the Athenian population that had access to such education was less than 1%. The part of the french population that have PHD is superior to that. In Athens only a really small part of the population had the right to vote and only a small part if that population was highly educated.
Considering how much the French like to revolt, I kinda find it surprising that they are not on the sixth republic right now

"You know... we've sent our King in exile now and we're looking for a new Republican setup. Let's try this... Fourth French Republic but let's add also a good dash of Weimar in it, what can go wrong?"

0:45 there wasn’t a power vacuum by this point. In 1869 Napoleon III set up a parliamentary constitutional monarchy which caused the emperor to lose most of his powers. His decisions were often ignored, including increasing the army size as Prussia was strong. During the Franco Prussian war, the emperor made his wife regent and left for war, effectively ending any sort of ceremonious or legislative power he had left
It would be better if he transitioned France into a constitutional monarch in 1852 instead of 1869 though.
@@olidojosephd.9054 France would probably collapse if that was the case. He needed the dictatorial powers in the beginning to make sure the new regime remained stable for a while, and once it did he began to soften his rule. It was good until the opposition got too strong and basically dragged him wherever they wished.
