Rise to power
The party was created when a group of nationalist Liberals who had quit the Parti libéral du Québec in 1934 to form the Action libérale nationale (ALN) joined with the Parti conservateur du Québec (Conservative Party, led by Duplessis), to form the Union Nationale. Because the Union Nationale was launched only two weeks before the election, the ALN and Conservatives ran separately in the 1935 Quebec election but did not compete against each other. The ALN won 25 seats and the Conservatives won 17.
