Country History CIA World Factbook: Although ultimately a
victor in World Wars I and II, France suffered extensive
losses in its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a
dominant nation-state. Nevertheless, France today is one
of the most modern countries in the world and is a
leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has
constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the
instabilities experienced in earlier parliamentary
democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and
cooperation with Germany have proved central to the
economic integration of Europe, including the
introduction of a common exchange currency, the euro, in
January 1999. At present, France is at the forefront of
efforts to develop the EU's military capabilities to
supplement progress toward an EU foreign policy.
