The French Communist Party has been a part of the political scene in France since 1920,peaking in strength around the end of World War II. It originated when a majority of members resigned from the socialist French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) party to set up the French Section of the Communist International (SFIC). The SFIO had been divided over support for French participation in World War I and over whether to join the Communist International (Comintern). The new SFIC defined itself as revolutionary and democratic centralist. Ludovic-Oscar Frossard was its first secretary-general,and Ho Chi Minh was also among the founders. Frossard himself resigned in 1923,and the 1920s saw a number of splits within the party over relations with other left-wing parties and over adherence to the Communist International's dictates. The party gained representation in the French parliament in successive elections,but also promoted strike action and opposed colonialism. Pierre Sémard,leader from 1924 to 1928,sought party unity and alliances with other parties;but leaders including Maurice Thorez imposed a Stalinist line from the late 1920s,leading to loss of membership through splits and expulsions,and reduced electoral success. With the rise of Fascism this policy shifted after 1934,and the PCF supported the Popular Front,which came to power under Léon Blum in 1936. The party helped to secure French support for the Spanish Republicans during the Spanish Civil War,and opposed the 1938 Munich agreement with Hitler. During this period the PCF adopted a more patriotic image,and favoured an equal but distinct role for women in the communist movement.
