Recent Periods
French external spying suffered greatly in reputation after the failures to predict Germany's invasion routes in 1940. After World War II, France developed the General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), which became the equivalent to MI6 in Britain. Notable successes included accurately predicting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which the CIA had failed to anticipate, and uncovering Europe's largest technology spying network.
 
The Directorate of Territorial Security, which developed after World War II, and succeed by the General Directorate for Internal Security (since 2008) has led France's internal spying and anti-terrorism efforts within France.
