The Nuclear power of France. Its impact on International Relations
Journal Title: STUDIUM - Revista studenţilor, masteranzilor şi doctoranzilor în istorie - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
The 20th century involved, among others, significant research into the realm of weapons of mass destruction. France, wanting to take front stage, joined the nuclear club in 1960. The tests for creating the “perfect bomb” were conducted in the French colonies of Algeria and French Polynesia. France argued that said tests would bring economic benefits to these territories. The country has had many nuclear weapons development programs, one of them being ongoing. All French leaders have justified the possession of nuclear weapons as necessary for national security and have threatened to use them if necessary. The French authorities promote transparency in this field as the means towards better international cooperation.
