Overview
This poster was made in protest against French military power and nuclear testing in the Pacific.
For example, between 1966 and 1996 France carried out about 190 nuclear tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls in French Polynesia. These caused reef damage, landslides, subsidence, radioactive emissions, and fish poisoning.
