During World War II, Brive-la-Gaillarde was a regional capital of the Resistance, acting as a seat of several clandestine information networks and several of the principal resistance movements, including the Armee secrete (or “Secret Army”) and the Mouvements Unis de la Resistance (or “United Movements of the Resistance”). Brive-la-Gaillarde was the first city of Occupied France to liberate itself by its own means, on 15 August 1944.
