This new reality became clear when, in the crisis leading up to the Six-Day War in June 1967, Charles de Gaulle's government imposed an arms embargo on the region, mostly affecting Israel, which had relied on France for weapons over the previous decade.

After his tour as governor general, Soustelle had returned to France to organize support for de Gaulle's return to power, while retaining close ties to the Army and the pied-noirs.

Eventually, leaders of all of these separate and fragmented Résistance organizations were gathered and coordinated by Jean Moulin, under the auspices of the National Council of Resistance ( CNR ), De Gaulle's formal link to the irregulars throughout occupied France.

This intrusion of the President into Canadian affairs caused a diplomatic chill for decades thereafter between Canada and France ; however, Léger attracted admiration for his sensitive handling of de Gaulle's policy towards Quebec.
