The Legacy of the Revolution and the Empire France's status as nation was reinforced by the Revolution in 1789.On 14 July 1790, a year after the fall of the Bastille, delegates from all parts of the country flocked to Paris to celebrate the and proclaim their allegiance to a single, common nation. The ideals proclaimed were: individual freedom and mutual respect; the right of peoples to self-determination; and institutions which would protect the welfare of citizens. These aspirations, which were codified in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen of 26 August 1789, grew out of the work of Enlightenment philosophers in the eighteenth century and were heavily influenced by the ideas of authors like Montesquieu, who laid down the principle of separation of the legislature, executive and judiciary in his The Spirit of the Law of 1748, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who developed theories of political equality and the sovereignty of the people in

History February Gerard Thery, General Director for Telecommunications, announces an ambitious based on producing and marketing a low-cost terminal associated with an Electronic Directory service. July The initial testing of the electronic directory began in Saint-Maio, a small town of 46,000 people in the county of llle-el-Vilaine. February A full-scale implementation of the electronic directory was started in the whole county of Ille-et-Vilaine. The county is made up of both rural and urban areas and is home to 250,000 people. February The terminals were distributed to subscribers free of charge. They reasoned that with the cost of each paper telephone book being FF100 (and increasing), the FF5001 cost of a dedicated terminal could be recovered in less than five years. As well, the anonymous kiosk charging system is launched. It allows users to consult Minitel services directly without taking out a subscription. An advantage for service providers is that France Telecom handles charging and collection on their behalf. June Crash of 85 - the only system failure since its inception.

NEW FRANCE QUEBEC CULTURAL ROOTS My early European ancestors are primarily French into Quebec in 1633 (possibly earlier), Scottish into Hudson Bay in 1789, and Scottish into Antigonish, Acadia about 1790's. The Hudson Bay's Scottish history is included in the Metis view because the Hudson Bay Company had little cultural impact in the Northwest until the early 1800's. My interest in Quebec and Acadia culture drops off rapidly after 1790 when the Garneau's make the North West their permanent home. My focus, therefore, shifts to the Metis view of Canadian history.

40. France's History Of Flight The history of French aviation began at the dawn of the 20th century. citizen, who was the first passenger to travel via air from the United Kingdom to france. http://www.flight100.org/history/fra.html

FRANCE The history of French aviation began at the dawn of the 20th century. The French had been involved in human flight since 1783, when François Pilâtre de Rozier and the Marquis d'Arlandes flew over Paris in the first human flight in a hot air balloon. That same year, the scientist Jacques Alexandre Charles flew with Ainé Robert in the first hydrogen balloon flight. On 7 January 1785 Jean-Pierre Blanchard crossed the English Channel, from Dover to Calais, on board a hydrogen balloon. He was accompanied by John Jeffries, an American citizen, who was the first passenger to travel via air from the United Kingdom to France. The military usefulness of balloons quickly became apparent to the French. Late in 1870, when the Prussians besieged Paris, balloons allowed the military to stay in touch with authorities trying to organize resistance in the French provinces. Although the Paris airlift was not able to change the course of the military operations in the 1870-1871 war between France and Prussia, it had considerable impact on world opinion about aerostats. In 1784, just one year after the first flights of man-operated balloons, the French inventor G. Meusnier proposed a design for a streamlined propelled and steerable balloon. The design was a forerunner of dirigibles. The first flight of a dirigible was accomplished by another French pioneer, Henri Giffard, in September 1852 in an airship powered by a 3 HP steam-engine. In 1884, two French officers, Charles Renard and Arthur Krebs, made a five-mile trip aboard the dirigible, La France, powered by an electric motor.
