Breizh Atao - Definition and Overview

Breizh Atao (also Breiz Atao) was a Breton independence party which existed during the mid-twentieth century.

Founded in 1918 in the aftermath of the First World War, Breizh Atao would exist through the interbellum. After World War II, many Breton nationalists would face persecution from the French state, partially because some of them had collaborated with the Nazis.

It was highly influenced by the Irish War of Independence, which began in 1916 and whose aftermath ran into the 1920s. Early on it adopted an official pan-Celtic policy.
