Operation Resurrection was a planned military operation of the French Army in 1958 that sought to take over the capital Paris in order to force the return of French leader Charles de Gaulle to head the government. Masterminded by Gen. Jacques Massu, the operation was preceded by the "Opération Corse", where the French Army took over Corsica. The operation was canceled after French politicians immediately arranged for de Gaulle's return to power.
