French Community (Communauté Française) (1958–60) A successor to the
French Union, it consisted of France and most of her west African colonies. The latter gained considerable self-government, though France remained responsible for foreign, economic, and financial policies, as well as for defence. It proved to be short-lived, and it ceased to be effective when its African members gained independence. However, it still exists in name, and its members have sought close cultural and economic links with France on an individual basis, e.g. through linking their currencies to the French franc (since 1999 the
euro).
