It was reborn in 1945 through a clandestine publication. Slowly, the supporters of the monarchy and of Marshal Pétain rebuilt their networks. On the eve of the Algerian war, the royalist organization was reconstituted under the name of Restauration nationale. It sided with the supporters of French Algeria and the Secret Army Organization found in it one of its best supporters. This reappearance of the royalist current on the political scene, and its permanence during the last 50 years, will mark the post-war history of the extreme right in France." ["Née des retombées de la guerre de 1870 et de l'Affaire Dreyfus, l'Action française disparaît en 1944, compromise par ses liens avec le régime de Vichy. Elle renaît dès 1945 à travers une publication clandestine. Lentement, les partisans de la monarchie et du maréchal Pétain reconstruisent leurs réseaux. À la veille de la guerre d'Algérie, l'organisation royaliste est reconstituée sous le nom de Restauration nationale. Elle se range aux côtés des partisans de l'Algérie française et l'[[Organisation de l'armée secrète]] trouve en elle un de ses meilleurs soutiens. Cette réapparition du courant royaliste sur la scène politique, et sa permanence durant ces 50 dernières années, va marquer l'histoire d'après-guerre de l'extrême droite en France."].</ref>

==Ideology==
The ideology of ''Action française'' was dominated by [[Maurrassisme|the precepts]] of [[Charles Maurras]], following his adherence and his conversion of the movement's founders to [[royalist|royalism]]. The movement supported a restoration of the [[House of Orléans|House of Bourbon-Orléans]] and, after the [[1905 French law on the separation of Church and State|1905 law on the separation of Church and State]], the restoration of [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholicism]] as the state religion, all as rallying points in distinction to the [[Third Republic of France]] which was considered corrupt and atheistic by many of its opponents.
The movement advocated decentralisation (a "[[federal monarchy]]"), with the restoration of pre-[[French Revolution|Revolutionary]] liberties to the ancient provinces of France (replaced during the Revolution by the [[département in France|departmental system]]). It aimed to achieve a restoration by means of a ''[[coup d'état]]'', probably involving a transitional authoritarian government.
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
[[Charles Maurras]] quickly joined ''Action française'' and became its principal ideologist. Under the influence of Maurras, ''Action française'' became [[monarchist]], [[counter-revolutionary]] (objecting to the legacy of the [[French Revolution]]) and anti-democratic, and supported [[integralism]] and [[Catholicism]]. The [[Dreyfus affair]] gave some Catholics the impression that Catholicism is not compatible with democracy. Therefore, they regarded ''Action française'' as rampart of religion and the most fitting expression of the church doctrine regarding society.<ref name="Rémond 2006 8"/>

In its early years, ''Action française'' tried to influence public opinion and to spread its ideas. For example, it created related organisations, such as student groups.<ref name="Judaken 2005 1" /> The political organisation of the movement, the Ligue d'Action Française, was launched in the spring of 1905, as was the Action Française Federation of Students, directed by [[Lucien Moreau]].<ref>{{citation|title=Les débuts de l'Action française (1899–1914) ou l'élaboration d'un nationalisme antisémite|language=fr|last=Joly |first=Laurent |journal=Revue Historique |volume=308|issue=3 (639) |date=July 2006|page=701|publisher=Presses Universitaires de France|jstor=40957800}}</ref> ''L'Institut d'Action française'' was created in 1906 as an alternative institute for higher education.<ref name="Judaken 2005 1">{{cite encyclopedia |last=Judaken |first=Jonathan |editor=Richard S.

Its members also served as a paramilitary wing, providing security for meetings and engaging in street violence with political opponents. The newspaper's literary quality and polemical vigor attracted readers and made Maurras and the movement significant figures in French politics. By 1914, ''Action française'' was the best structured and the most vital nationalist movement in France.<ref name="Judaken 2005 1" />
