| Description | World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt explaining the wild gyrations of his little dog Fala to Free French General Charles de Gaulle. Roosevelt's antipathy for de Gaulle was widely known. The president viewed the general as a prima donna and questioned his claims to represent the French people still under German control. After the Allies invaded Normandy, however, it became necessary for the United States to recognize de Gaulle's followers as a de facto government in the liberated areas, and De Gaulle visited Washington. Roosevelt, however, continued to view the general's insistence on equal ranking with the other Allies with skepticism. |
