With this work, the author intended to examine the relations between France and the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes from the end of the Great War to the beginning of the 1930s, the crucial years during which the consequences of the great world economic crisis changed the climate of international relations.
The years 1924–1929 confirm the precarious nature of the relations between France and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Did France have the means and the will to be a friend, protector and model for the state of the South Slavs and the peoples that composed it?
Italian and German competition was growing in the fields of diplomacy and economics and was having an effect even in the royal army and navy, where French influence was supposed to be greatest. The implementation of the naval program and the loan intended to enable the Kingdom to equip itself militarily clashed with other key French interests: the need to maintain the balance in Europe and to preserve its alliance with Italy (chapters VI and VII). In the field of culture, French activity had to take into account the internal heterogeneity of the Kingdom.
