67 years ago today, on October 5, 1958 (August 23, 1958 lunar calendar), the French Fifth Republic was proclaimed. De Gaulle was among the masses. In the 12 years since the establishment of the French Fourth Republic in 1946, the government has been weak, the cabinet has changed frequently, and it has been caught in the Algerian War. Gradually, it has fallen into crisis. On May 13, 1958, Jacques Marsh, the leader of the French colonial army, and others took advantage of the people's dissatisfaction with the government to launch a rebellion in Algeria. On May 25, anti-government riots also broke out in southern France, demanding that de Gaulle come out and seize power. De Gaulle declared that he was ready to take over the rights of the republic. On the 29th, President Coty invited de Gaulle to form a cabinet. On June 1, de Gaulle became the new prime minister. After de Gaulle came to power, he first amended the constitution and carried out reforms of the national system. He appointed a working committee headed by Debray to prepare a new draft constitution. On September 4, the 88th anniversary of the overthrow of the Second Reich, de Gaulle read the new draft constitution to the people at the Place de la République. On September 28, a referendum was held, and 80% of the people were in favor of the new constitution. On October 5, the French Fifth Republic was proclaimed. The Constitution of the Fifth Republic stipulates that: The legislative power belongs to the National Assembly and the Senate. The term of office of the members of the National Assembly is 5 years.

In this way, France has changed from a parliamentary republic to a semi-parliamentary and semi-presidential republic, and the president is in power, ensuring political stability in France and ending the state of weak government. Elections to the National Assembly were held in November, and the Alliance for the Defense of the New Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, was elected president in December.

After that, ministers were gradually replaced, and politicians were replaced by civilian and technical personnel, forming a civilian system.

France granted independence to Algeria in 1961, and all territories in Africa except Somalia declared independence in 1960.
