neutral  Klaus Herrmann: Hmmm, Phobie nur als Abneigung? Wo bleibt denn da die Angst, die aus den griechischen Wurzeln dieses Worts spricht...
2 mins
  -> So steht's zumindest als Definition im Duden. Aber Du hast schon recht, Phobie wird normalerweise mit Angst übersetzt. Aber Angst vor einem Land? Da würde ich doch eher von Abneigung sprechen. Aber um das zu klären, benötigen wir mehr Kontext. ;-)

Gallophobie


Explanation:
This word is actually used in German "as is", just with an "e" instead of the "a".

See reference: "Ursprung und Entwicklung der Gallophobie in Deutschland (Meier) "

The opposite is "Gallophilie", meaning the endless love for everything French
