Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle (* 22. November 1890 in Lille; † 9. November 1970 in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises) was a French general and statesman. During the Second World War he led the resistance of Free France against the German occupation. He was then President of the Provisional Government from 1944 to 1946. In the wake of the Algerian War, he was appointed in 1958 with the formation of a government as Prime Minister and enforced a constitutional reform, with the founding of the Fifth Republic, whose president he was from January 1959 to April 1969. The political ideology of Gaullism, which dates back to this time, influences French politics until today.
