With the overthrown and arrestation of the dictatorship of Louis and his fascination of calling himself 'King of Francia' in early October of 2012, an election for the next ruler of a new French Republic was underway. While these types of elections usually lasted far longer than two months, France needed a leader and quickly, therefore the candidates quickly made their speeches and began desperately gathering as many supporters as they could within the short amount of time that they were given. The people of France were obviously taken off guard with such a snap election and the short amount of time that they had to choose a democratic leader for a new France only added to the civil unrest, but nonetheless, the people began choosing their leaders.
With the previous leader of France being a lunatic monarchist and a dictator, it was no surprise that the media would do their best to try and push people into voting for a candidate that was as far from a monarchist as possible, therefore, candidates with left-winged ideals. While this worked in the short term, some right-winged candidates began making some points in which the French people quickly felt attracted to. With the many terrorist attacks during the leadership of Louis, the French wanted a government that would focus more on France rather than the international. Thus, the French flooded to right-winged candidates just as much as they flooded to left-winged candidates.
After no more than three weeks, the first round of the election was held. While other candidates won a good percentage of votes, only two candidates would be prominent: Emanuelle Desjardins with his La République En Marche! party and Marie Le Pen with her Rassemblement national party. Emanuelle Desjardins and his party would receive 23.87% of the total votes and Marie Le Pen and her party would receive 22.23% of the votes. With the most popular candidates being pinpointed, the second round of the election would begin with speeches the next day. On November 7, the second election would take place with Emanuelle Desjardins and his party gathering a total of 59.87% of the votes and Marie Le Pen and her party gathering a total of 40.13% of the votes.
Emanuelle Desjardins and La République En Marche! would achieve victory in the 2012 French Election.
Now that the French Election of 2012 was over, many thought that stability would return and people could turn back to their daily activities. However, with the chaos of the snap election with the overthrow of the government of Louis, no one was prepared for the storm that would come with the winter of 2012-2013.
-
The winter brought the greatest storm that France had ever seen. The first storm brought with itself six inches throughout northern France in one single day, the second day came and six more inches would fall down on northern France, and the third day of the first storm brought three inches. All of northern France was covered in fifteen inches of snow, the municipalities were unprepared for such a sudden storm. Tens of thousands were left without power in their homes and hundreds were stranded on the highways as the snow engulfed everything. But as the French did their best to recover from this storm, another was brewing in the French Alps.
-
The storm would brew for a total of two days, the northern Alps would receive as high as twenty-three inches, while the southern Alps were lucky if they received half of that. This storm was far worse than the one that had struck northern France three weeks before and left a reported of one hundred thousand people without power and stranded thousands. At least one hundred people have been reported to have been injured during the blizzard and a dozen people have been reported missing or dead.
It took the French a month and a half to fully recover from this crippling storm in the French Alps.
But the winter of 2012-2013 was far from over.

In March 2013, the Atlantic Ocean would bring perhaps the worse ice storm that Europe has ever seen to western and northern France. The storm began on the 3rd of March and did not calm down until the 7th of the same month. After the storm had passed, as many as four million people were left without power, thousands of trees were destroyed and their destroyed trunks and branches had ended up blocking many roads and thus preventing proper travel, twenty-eight people were reported to have died during the storm, thousands of vehicles had been encased in three inches of ice during the storm, but this ice had not only attacked vehicles and wherever the ice could hit it encased it in inches of frozen water.
This storm would leave the French crippled and focused on nothing but repairing the damages received by the ice storm. Even now, in April 2013, the people of France still suffer from the ice storm and the storms that had come before it.
