France is one of the few (ex) powers of the defunct European system to have preserved and perpetuated hegemonic designs on what was its colonial empire, despite the loss of relative power, both in Europe and around the world, and the affirmation of a new international order that is no longer Eurocentric. In the beginning I was Charles de Gaulle wanting to prevent France's decline from a great world power to a regional power in decline and in a peripheral position in the new post-war order. For this purpose, France equipped itself with atomic weapons and attempted to reconquer the former imperial African territories through a policy of economic neocolonialism following the ambitious and visionary plan for French-speaking Africa developed by Jacques Foccart, one of the most important ideologues and strategists of the Gaullist era. Foccart's neo-imperial revival plan for France did not only aim at the reconquest of Africa, but to the expansion up every French-speaking territory in the world.
