'''Gaullism''' is the political philosophy associated with [[Charles de Gaulle]], the former French President. It emphasizes protecting the ''grandeur'' of [[France]]. Traditionally, this has often meant opposing the interests of the [[United Kingdom]] and [[United States]]. On the French political spectrum, it is a center-right political philosophy. Former French president [[Jacques Chirac]] was an avowed Gaullist.

Former French president [[Jacques Chirac]] was an avowed Gaullist.
De Gaulle was very pro-[[Europe]]an. He viewed efforts to further integrate the nations of Europe into one workable block as the creation of a 'third force' in [[geopolitical]] politics, a sort of in between power between the [[Soviet Union]] and the United States. He opposed [[Britain]]'s "special relationship" with the United States and blocked her initial application to enter the [[European Economic Community]], saying that she was too close to America on [[foreign policy]] issues. This issue aside, Charles de Gaulle was most definitely on the American side of the [[Cold War]], and also thanked the Americans several times for their role in liberating France during the [[Second World War]]. Like [[Jaques Chirac]], he regarded [[New York City]] to be one of the finest cities in the world.
