French Resistance

The French Resistance conducted every activity of unconventional warfare against the Nazi occupiers, and they did so extensively. Through underground newspapers the Resistance reached millions in readers, calling for passive and active forms of resistance and spreading stories of Nazi defeats on the eastern front. They planned and executed countless acts of sabotage against German lines of transportation, telecommunications, power grids, and war production facilities (Douthit, 1987). Maquis conducted increasingly overt guerrilla activities as their strength grew, such as assassinations and larger attacks with Allied support. They maintained a network of escape routes for nonconventional assistance of the recovery of Allied troops and pilots.…

The French Resistance played a key part in aiding the Allies to success in Western Europe, especially leading up to D-day in June 1944. The French Resistance went from 1940-1944. General Charles De Gualle was the leader of the French Resistance and he was intent to unite these different resistance groups under his leadership ("French Resistance"). Jean Moulin was a high-profile member of the Resistance in France during World War II. He is remembered today as an emblem of the Resistance, owing…

and the violence layed upon them. During World War II, the French Resistance was a major factor in the liberation of France from the Nazi. Many of whom were women risking their lives on battlefront in hoping for a better life for thie children and their childrens children. This is a mother instinct of doing what ever it takes to have their voices heard and fight back their oppressor. Women in resistance…

. I will start with the big decisions of Marie-Laure LeBlanc and and everyone involved in her life. Like her father, Daniel. In the beginning of the book, the Germans invade France. There are multiple rumors that Marie-Laure hears while she is out of the house. Worried, she goes to her father and asks if these rumors are true, like any normal father would say to a little girl worried about something is”everything will be fine Ma Chérie”. Though on the inside he is thinking very hard about the…

The French Resistance first started on June 22, 1940. Germans had taken over France and people were not happy. They didn't want to be under the German rule, so they started a rebellion group. Some of the people in the group were very violent and wanted to kill the Germans at any cost and chance they got. These people were called maquis. But a lot of the time the group went with the less violent ways and turned to secret newspapers and radio stations to get their point across. A key person who…

were a great threat, there is no way they could have won the war without the help of the French Resistance. The French Resistance aided the allies of World War II not only by spying on Germans and helping downed allied airmen make it back to base, but also by physically fighting the Gestapo. The French resistance initially was created by angry French citizens. Starting in May of 1940, the Germans began a quest to conquer France and some other countries on the Western front. By June of 1940…

Sam did not know the name of the person down the hall, they had been smart enough not to reveal that, but he did know that they were part of the French Resistance. They had grown up on a goat farm with their family, a large group that worked the land and cared for their animals. When the Nazi’s invaded, they had taken in the children of the Jewish family that lived next door. As far as the little goat knew, those children were still safe, as were their family. They had left to work with the…

Peaceful, and I stress peaceful, resistance to an unjust law is a net positive towards society. I say this because of the lack of viable alternative options in the face of injustice. These other options are sorely limited, coming down to small variations on the following: Violent resistance (which lends itself to extremism and the replacement of one corrupt system with another corrupt system) and outright non-resistance (which lends itself to collaboration and in turn a total lack of any…

By changing it is harder for the immune system to recognize the illness and the cycle begins again. “Bacteria are able to develop resistance to antibiotics through repeated exposure (Goodwin, Philis 18)”. Bacteria are able to become resistant to antibiotics so this means that researchers have to find a new way to fight off the new bacteria that have become immune previously. “The prevalence of antibiotic resistance through the misuse of antibiotics is increasingly becoming a problem (Goodwin…

It always has been controversial if peaceful protest is the way to proving one’s point. Nonviolent resistance has been in effect for centuries. Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and the Danish resistance are all examples, but surely not the only people who have protested peacefully. Gene Sharp is known for his in-depth studies and writings on nonviolent resistance. Sharp’s theories have influenced anti-government resistance movements globally. Sharp believes that having a big,…
