France: large and well connected
France is one of the largest countries in Europe.

The UK is across the English Channel (La Manche). France is regarded by many people as the geographical gateway to Europe.

    When thinking about the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, one may think of the opulent Garden District homes or the historic cemeteries where the dead are buried in above-ground mausoleums to avoid the below-sea-level ground conditions. But for most people, the thought of the Crescent City evokes images of the debauchery of Bourbon Street or the jazz musicians in Jackson Square: collectively, the French Quarter. In his book Madame Vieux Carré: The French Quarter in the Twentieth Century, Scott Ellis takes the reader on a journey through the French Quarter from its beginnings as the first settlement of what we now know as New Orleans to the beginnings of the 21st century.…

    As a region with ambiguous boundary distributions, Alsace-Lorraine had created conflict between the two countries of France and German, establishing controversy as to whether the country would come under whose control after the Franco-Prussian War when the region was ceded to Prussia. While newly united Germans felt they knew better what is good for them and forced its ethnic identity on the Alsace-Lorraine people, France, in recovery, and its nationalistic aspiration was devastated by the war; and within the region itself, conflictions became inevitable due to the fact that a portion of the population rejected Germanization and held sentiment toward France, and the others were impressed and took pride in lining up with the German states.…

    New France Failure

    During the 1400s the continent of North America was discovered by numerous different explorers, such as Giovanni Caboto, Columbus, and Jacques Cartier. This set off a great race for the ownership of this new continent, and France and England would fight over the country known as Canada. New France was first established by Jacques Cartier in 1534. While Montcalm deserves much of the blame for the loss of Quebec in 1759, New France, in fact, was destined to fall because of the policies and approaches that had been taken since the earliest foundations of the colony. The mercantilist standpoint of Jean-Baptist Colbert was also a large benefactor to the downfall of New France. This policy crippled New France and constricted its growth economically,…

    The French Revolution was a quest for liberty, and centered on people who wanted their freedom. They wanted to be treated as equal participants in the community, not as slaves for the royals or nobles. The peasants who represents more than 90% of France’s population, were working for their own families and everyone else as they paid much more in taxes. Brotherhood was the way of everyone coming together as one. Hubris is excessive pride in one’s self, people during the French Revolution did not want to admit they were wrong for what they were doing and that they did not want less entitlement then they had. Fiscal irresponsibility was brought on by the higher debts, and taxes were raised so the government could get out of the finical hole they were in. The democracy was a new construction of power where the politics were giving everyone the chance to be heard and to be equal. Technology at the beginning of the French Revolution was lacking, but as it continued throughout the years it became a resource at war.…

    In Graham Robb's Discovery of France, Robb chronicles the social, geographical, and economic changes in France from the pre-revolutionary period until the first World War. Prior to new governmental policy and dramatic physical changes to the landscape, France was far from the unified nation state that is recognizable today. Much of the nation had yet to be discovered, nor had it been sufficiently recorded by a cartographer. The rich diversity of culture and language accounted by Robb attempts to evoke desire to regain that element of intrigue in French society and diminish the centralized influence of Paris on the countryside. Robb's sympathetic, anecdotal history of rural France demonstrates the Parisian absorption of several micro-cultures into the modern unified French nation amid illuminating a romantic way of life that existed prior to this colonization.…

    The years during the 1800s were very gory in terms of the Revolutions that took place in Latin America and Europe. Two brave countries tried to innovate their governments, which caused uproar and lead to a revolution. France was gutsy and courageous, and overthrew their King, they ran him out of the city and later beheaded him. On the other hand Russia strived for years to try and take back their government, and overthrow their ruler. Russia did not succeed but they had good spirit; they said “A Russian devoted to his country will no more consent to the loss of one of the tenets of our Orthodoxy than to the theft of one pearl from the crown…” Both countries had nationalism, and they fought with their hearts and souls. They are similar in the fact that they both had the same goal and the same dream; to govern themselves and not be told what to do anymore.…

    In the heart of a poor neighborhood at the eastern edge of Paris, there was a massive fortress prison, the Bastille. It had eight huge towers and thick walls 80 feet high. On the 14th of July 1789, hundreds of ordinary Parisians, mostly men but a few women as well, poured over the drawbridge of the Bastille looking for gunpowder and changed the course of French history. On that day, they made the French Revolution a reality. The paper will cover the storming of the Bastille shortly. But first, let’s talk about July 15th, the very day after the successful assault on the Bastille. Paris was still barricading against a possible attack by the royal army, and a man named Palloy, Pierre- Francois Palloy 1755-1835,…

    Our tribe has been through plenty these past years with other countries coming in to take our land and expand their empire. There seems to be a war breaking out between the English and the French, and today in 1754 we were asked to pick a side. I believe that we should take the side of the English. Others might claim that they are going to rob us of our land and leave us with nothing, but isn't that what all of the countries that come here are trying to accomplish. They all want extra land for themselves and that is what both the English and the French are here for.…
