Maurras supports an isolationist position between Nazi Germany and Great Britain during World War II, and was resolutely opposed to collaborationism.

As early as June 26, 1940, Maurras recognized the competence of Marshal Pétain and General Weygand to request the Armistice in a declaration made at Villefranche-de-Rouergue.

We have no other chance than in the proud and strong maintenance of the national unity embodied by Marshal Pétain and his collaborators.

[3] The book is dedicated to Marshal Pétain and proclaims his support for the Révolution nationale, judged as the country's only hope for recovery.

It is to the salvation of France that we have the duty and the right to devote ourselves exclusively.Maurras refuses to choose between Germany and England and therefore defends an isolationist position hostile to collaborationism.

[8] Historian Jacques Julliard detects a Maurrassian influence in the sovereignism of Michel Onfray on the pretext of the defense of "France alone" against the European Union.
