Editing National Rally (section)

=== Background ===
The party's ideological roots can be traced to both [[Poujadism]], a [[populist]], small business [[tax protest]] movement founded in 1953 by [[Pierre Poujade]] and on right-wing dismay over the decision by French President [[Charles de Gaulle]] to abandon his promise of holding on to the [[colony]] of [[French Algeria]], (many {{lang|fr|frontistes}}, including Le Pen, were part of an inner circle of returned servicemen known as {{lang|fr|Le cercle national des combattants}}).{{sfn|Davies|2012|pp=31–35}}{{sfn|DeClair|1999|pp=21–24}} During the [[1965 French presidential election|1965 presidential election]], Le Pen unsuccessfully attempted to consolidate the right-wing vote around presidential candidate [[Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour]].{{sfn|DeClair|1999|pp=25–27}} Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, the French far-right consisted mainly of small, extreme movements such as {{lang|fr|[[Occident (movement)|Occident]]}}, {{lang|fr|[[Groupe Union Défense]]}} (GUD), and the {{lang|fr|[[Ordre Nouveau (1960s)|Ordre Nouveau]]}} (ON).{{sfn|DeClair|1999|pp=27–31}}

Espousing France's Catholic and monarchist traditions, one of the primary progenitors of the ideology generally promoted by FN was the {{lang|fr|[[Action Française]]}}, founded at the end of the 19th century, and its descendants in the ''Restauration Nationale'', a pro-[[monarchy]] group that supports the claim of the [[Count of Paris]] to the French throne.{{sfn|DeClair|1999|pp=13–17}}<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pmwYAAAAIAAJ|title=Political parties of the world|first=Alan John|last=Day|publisher=University of Michigan |year=2002 |page=193 |isbn=978-0-9536278-7-5}}</ref>
