Contribution went towards the French Third Republic was the system of government adopted in France from 4 September 1870, when the Second French Empire collapsed during the Franco-PrussianWar, until 10 July 1940, after the Fall of France during World War II led to the formation of the Vichy government. The Third Republic established many French colonial possessions, including French Indochina, French Madagascar, French Polynesia, and large territories in West Africa during the Scramble for Africa, all of them acquired during the last two decades of the 19th century. The early years of the 20th century were dominated by the Democratic Republican Alliance, which was originally conceived as a centre-left political alliance, but over time became the main centre-right party. The period from the start of World War I to the late 1930s featured sharply polarized politics, between the Democratic Republican Alliance and the Radicals. The government fell less than a year after the outbreak of World War II, when Nazi forces occupied much of France, and was replaced by the rival governments of Charles de Gaulle’s Free France (La France libre) and Philippe Pétain’s French State (L’État Francais). ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $75-150 192 192 L’Epargne Francaise - Bordeaux, “French Bordeaux Savings, ca.1870-80’s Certificate (Reused as a coupon in 1953) France..... 1953. 1000 Francs Issued Savings Bond, blue with red overprint and cherubs at top.
