During 1968, massive protests and strikes threw France into chaos. On May 29, Charles de Gaulle fled France by helicopter and arrived at a French military base in Germany. De Gaulle had lost confidence in himself, but General Jacques Massu persuaded Charles de Gaulle to return to France. After returning to France, he was able to stabilize the situation and the protests ended.

However, what if the helicopter crashed and Charles de Gaulle died while fleeing to Germany? What would happen to France and how would this impact the world?
