picture info	Breton Nationalism Breton nationalism (Breton language, Breton: ''roadelouriezh Brezhoneg'', French language, French: ''nationalisme Breton'') is a form of Territorial nationalism, regional nationalism associated with the region of Brittany in France. The political aspirations of Breton nationalists include the desire to obtain the right to self-rule, whether within France or independently of it, and to acquire more power in the European Union, United Nations and other international institutions. Breton nationalism emerged in various forms over time, which nationalists consider to fall into phases known as "renovations" (''emsav''). The First ''Emsav'' was the birth of the modern Breton movement before 1914; the Second ''Emsav'' covers the period 1914-1945; and the Third ''Emsav'' for the postwar movements. Breton nationalism has an important cultural component which has long focused on the status of Breton language, Breton and Gallo language, Gallo languages against perceived French linguistic im ...

	Breton Federalist League The Breton Federalist League (french: Ligue fédéraliste de Bretagne) was a short-lived Breton political party in the 1930s. A new organization with the same name was created in the 21st century. Origin At its congress on April 11, 1931, the Breton Autonomist Party broke up under the differences between the federalist and nationalist factions. Faced with the formation of the separatist Breton National Party, the federalists Maurice Duhamel, Morvan Marchal, Yann-Morvan Gefflot, Goulven Mazéas, René-Yves Creston and others, founded the Breton Federalist League. Aims Its emblem was the Hevoud (a form of "Celtic" swastika). The League's principal publication was ''Federal Brittany'' (Breiz kevredel), founded in 1931 by Morvan Marchal, which was a "leftist" variant of the quasi-fascistic positions espoused by Breiz Atao. In the first issue of this journal, Goulven Mazéas wrote: the truth is that our Masters rip apart piece by piece our sense of who we are in order to fill us with ...
