The disruption of continuity between succeeding generations, the tremendous increase of immigration, the deepening abyss between different strata of the Frech population, the political treason of some business circles-all contributed to the disintegration of French national unity. The fall of France and the defeatist and collaborationist attitude of the Vichy government can be explained sociologically. But the deep-rooted democratic patterns of French cultural, social, and political life have resisted treason and German domination. The deeper-lying institutions of self-government (local and profesional) have remained or can be resurected at any moment. A new French national unity is in formation, which will reinvigorate democratic principles in the economic, as well as in the political sphere by the establishment of the Fourth French Republic
