 | | 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. | | | The Front National nationalist / hard right party, seizing on voters' growing concerns of their country's perceived decline, as well as 'national dissolution' brought about by immigration and globalisation, and advocating tougher law-and-order and immigration policies, has made inroads since the early 1980s, but has lately remained stable at around 16% of the votes. |

| | 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. |
