Peasant Corporation
The Peasant Corporation (french: Corporation paysanne) was a Paris-based organization created by the Vichy France government during World War II (1939–45) to support a corporatist structure of agricultural syndicates. The Ministry of Agriculture was unenthusiastic and undermined the Corporation, which was launched with a provisional structure in 1941 that was not finalized until 1943. By then the small farmers and farm workers had become disillusioned since the Corporation had maintained the privileged position of landowners and had not protected them from demands by the increasingly unpopular German occupiers. The Corporation, which was never effective, was dissolved after the liberation of France in September 1944. Charter The Peasant Corporation had its roots in the rural ''Syndicats Agricoles'', whose Union Centrale des Syndicats Agricoles (UCSA) became the Union Nationale des Syndicats Agricoles (UNSA) in 1934 when Jacques Le Roy Ladurie became its secretary general.

Léon Blum
André Léon Blum (; 9 April 1872 – 30 March 1950) was a French socialist politician and three-time Prime Minister. As a Jew, he was heavily influenced by the Dreyfus affair of the late 19th century. He was a disciple of French Socialist leader Jean Jaurès and after Jaurès' assassination in 1914, became his successor. Despite his relatively short tenures, his time in office was very influential: as Prime Minister in the left-wing Popular Front government in 1936–37, he provided a series of major economic and social reforms. Blum declared neutrality in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) to avoid the civil conflict spilling over into France itself. Once out of office in 1938, he denounced the appeasement of Germany. When Germany defeated France in 1940, he became a staunch opponent of Vichy France. Tried (but never judged) by the Vichy government on charges of treason, he was imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp. After the war, he resumed a transitional lea ...
