Commentary
La médaille coloniale est une décoration française créée par l'article 75 de la loi de finances du 26 juillet 1893 pour récompenser « les services militaires dans les colonies, résultants de la participation à des opérations de guerre, dans une colonie ou un pays de protectorat ». Elle n'est plus décernée. Un décret du 6 juin 1962 a modifié l'appellation « coloniale » pour l'appellation « outre-mer ».
Instituée par l'article 75 de la loi de finances du 26 juillet 18931, le décret d’application, en date du 6 mars 18942, énumère les opérations militaires menées par la France dans ses colonies ou protectorats (Algérie - Maroc - Cochinchine - Côte d'Or – Îles Marquises – Nossi-Bé – Nouvelle-Calédonie – Sénégal et Soudan – Îles de la Société – Tunisie) ouvrant droit à cette décoration. Le champ d’application du décret a un large effet rétroactif, puisque les premières opérations prises en compte pour l’attribution de la Médaille coloniale remontent à 1827, soit au tout début de la conquête de l'Algérie. Elle est systématiquement attribuée avec une agrafe rappelant le territoire de l'opération militaire..

A decree of June 6, 1962 changed the designation \\\"colonial\\\" to the designation \\\"overseas.\\\" Established by Article 75 of the Finance Act of July 26, 18931, the implementing decree, dated March 6, 18942, lists the military operations conducted by France in its colonies or protectorates (Algeria - Morocco - Cochinchina - Côte d'Or - Marquesas Islands - Nossi-Bé - New Caledonia - Senegal and Sudan - Society Islands - Tunisia) giving entitlement to this decoration. The scope of the decree has a broad retroactive effect, since the first operations taken into account for the award of the Colonial Medal date back to 1827, at the very beginning of the conquest of Algeria. It is systematically awarded with a clasp recalling the territory of the military operation.

Historical background
III REPUBLIC
(4/09/1870-10/07/1940)
The news of the capitulation of Sedan provokes the revolution of September 4, 1870 in Paris. Proclaimed at the Hôtel de Ville, the Republic is endowed with a provisional government called the Government of National Defense. Threatened on the left by the insurrection of the Commune and on the right by the monarchists, the new regime had a difficult start.. Initially head of the executive power (February 1871), Thiers was responsible for reorganizing the country before choosing its form of government.. He became President of the Republic in August 1871 and, despite his action to liberate the territory, had to leave his post in March 1873 in the face of royalist opposition.. He is then replaced by Mac-Mahon favorable to the restoration of the monarchy but this one is not restored following the question of the flag. The law of the septennat was then put in place in November 1873 and then, in 1875, the fundamental laws were passed which served as the Constitution of the Third Republic.. Parliamentary system, it is characterized in particular by the clear preponderance of the legislative power on the executive power. Anticlerical, the Third Republic makes school free, secular and compulsory but continues the colonial policy for its economic, strategic and moral ambitions. Separation of Church and State was passed in 1905.. The idea of revenge on Germany and significant nationalism are at the heart of the Boulangist crisis, the Panama scandal or the Dreyfus affair of the years 1886-1899, while foreign policy is very active, particularly in Morocco and that the arms race develops. The First World War was expensive for France, which only recovered from 1920 or even 1928 for the coin with the "Poincaré" franc.. The crisis of 1929 is felt only from 1932 but lasts until 1939, a period during which ministerial instability is very important. Wavering in 1934, the Third Republic found a new unitary cement with anti-fascism which enabled the Popular Front to come to power in 1936.. But, paralyzed against Germany, France was then bogged down in a "phony war" and then suffered one of the greatest defeats in its history in June 1940.. Gathered in the National Assembly in Vichy on July 10, 1940, the Chambers, although elected in 1936, voted full powers to Pétain in a sort of collective suicide by 569 votes for, 80 votes against and 18 abstentions..
