| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: France |
 | | In 1860, France intervened on behalf of the Christians of the East, who were menaced by the fanaticism of Turks, Arabs, and Druses. | | | The foreign policy of France since the time of Francis I had been to seek exclusively the good of the nation and no longer to be guided by the interests of Catholicism at large. | | | During this struggle against the House of Austria, France, for motives of political and military exigency, had been obliged to lean in the Lutherans of Germany, and even on the sultan. |

| | This concept of a Nation agreed upon is opposed to the German concept of a Nation based on ethnicity and race, and it was responsible for much of the conflicts between France and Germany in the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. | | | Contrary to what many people believe, the name of the former French currency, the franc, does not come from the name of the country. | | | Tensions occasionally erupt about alleged or real discrimination against minorities; see Islam in France. |

| | France: Environmental Issues |
| | The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations agency for shipping, has established rules against the dumping of the sea water carried to stabilize a vessel since this is often contaminated with oil and other materials. | | | In addition, the organization claims that, over the last 20 years, France has inspected less than 10% of ships entering French ports, instead of the minimum of 25% demanded by the U.N. Convention on Maritime Rules. | | | In the aftermath of the oil shocks, the French government took the critical step to reorient the country's energy policy, pledging to achieve energy independence by reducing its reliance on foreign energy supplies. |

| | France has voiced strong support for Israeli Prime Minister Sharon’s Gaza disengagement plan, continues to express concerns on the route of the Israel security barrier in the West Bank, and has called for an international conference before the end of 2005 to help relaunch the roadmap and move towards final status talks. | | | Since 2003, France has supported four UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions on Iraq, including UNSCR 1546, which laid out a timetable for Iraq’s political transition and reaffirmed UNSC authorization for a Multinational Force in Iraq, at the invitation of the Iraqi government, to stabilize the country. | | | The German victory left the French groping for a new policy and new leadership suited to the circumstances. |

| | France opposed the liberation of Iraq from Saddam Hussein's tyranny, but somehow it was ok for the USA to liberate France from Hitler's tyranny (a liberation that cost thousands of French lives). | | | France is doing this not for charity, but because Saddam Hussein has promised France the oil fields: there are unsigned protocols between Saddam and Chirac that would grant France the rights to exploit the largest oil fields in the Middle East, and become de facto owner of Iraqi economy. | | | The reason some of these freedom-fighters were in France is that France used to be part of the democratic world before Chirac became president and turned France into the defender of all mad dictators in the world. |
