Quick Summary

The French Committee of National Liberation (FCNL) was established in 1943 in Algiers, North Africa, as a provisional government for Free France during World War II. It was formed by General Charles de Gaulle and General Henri Giraud, though de Gaulle soon emerged as the sole leader. The FCNL aimed to unite all French resistance movements against the German occupation and to represent France as a major Allied power. This organization played a crucial role in coordinating the French Resistance and preparing for the liberation of France. The Corsican National Liberation Front (FLNC), on the other hand, is a Corsican nationalist movement formed in 1976, seeking autonomy for Corsica through armed struggle, primarily using bomb attacks.12
