Why Did France's Popular Front Government Fall Apart in 1937?

[Red Icepick]

Does anyone have any information or resources on this? I've never heard an in-depth explanation that really made sense to me, and I'd like to read up on it. Also, if anyone has a particular interpretation, I'd be interested in hearing it.

because the french have a habbit of falling apart in times of peril, they then leave their legion of foreigners to be massacred:)

Léon Blum's government lasted from June 1936 to June 1937. He was then replaced by Camille Chautemps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Chautemps), a Radical, but came back as President of the Council in March 1938, before being succeeded by Edouard Daladier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edouard_Daladier), another Radical, the next month. The Popular Front dissolved itself in autumn 1938, confronted by internal dissensions related to the Spanish Civil War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War) (1936-1939), opposition of the right-wing and the persistent effects of the Great Depression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression_in_France).

It was nothing terribly exciting really. Just a lack of a stable majority in the National Assembly.
