France - History By Ekaterina Zhdanova-Redman Although humans have inhabited the land now known as France for almost 100,000 years, the country of France didn't begin formation until around 200-100 B.C., when the neighboring Roman Empire began making raids on what was then called Gaul and the Celtic natives of the land. As a result of these Gallic Wars, Roman emperor Julius Caesar conquered the entirety of Gaul for the Roman Empire by 51 B.C. The Celts that lived in Gaul took on Roman customs and even a form of Latin, the official language of the Romans. The Celts of Gaul lived under Roman rule until the third century AD. It was then that the Roman defenses began falling to German invaders from the west, including Visigoths, Burgundians, and Franks who crossed the Rhine River and took over land in Gaul. At the end of Roman rule, a Frank named Clovis became king of Gaul in 486. Gaul ultimately took the name France from its new ruler. Under Clovis' rule, much of France was Christianized. Clovis was the first king of what became known as the Merovingian Dynasty. An advisor to a later Merovingian king, Pepin the Herstal, led the country away from its king in the late 600‘s. Although he didn't take the title of king, Pepin the Herstal and his son, Charles Martel, unofficially ruled the country. In 751, Martel's son, Pepin the Short, overthrew the Merovingian king and named himself king of France, beginning the Carolingian Dynasty.

Europe /France FRANCE History and Government History: After the disintegration of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, Gaul was settled by Germanic peoples from the east. After the collapse of the Visigothic Merovingian kingdom, Gaul in the eighth and ninth centuries became the heart of Charlemagne’s Frankish empire, which stretched from the Pyrénées to the Baltic. During the following centuries, the area under the control of the French kings gradually increased, although it was not until the reign of Louis VI (1108-37) that royal authority became more than an empty theory in some parts of France, whose rulers were vassals in name only. Among the most powerful of these were the Dukes of Normandy who had, by the mid-12th century, acquired England and western France. In 1328, however, the direct line of the Capetian royal house became extinct: one of the claimants to the throne was Edward III of England. The resulting intermittent conflict, known as the Hundred Years’ War, was not resolved until the final English defeat in 1453. The period of French recovery is associated with the reign of the astute Louis XI (1460-83): by the time of his death the area of France was much as it is today. During the late 15th and 16th centuries, France was again distracted by foreign adventures, including the Italian Wars and several other grandiose pan-European schemes initiated by François I, and internal troubles (the Wars of Religion). This latter conflict was ended by the accession of the gifted Henry IV, a Protestant-turned-Catholic. Henry was assassinated in 1610, but his work of building up the power of the French state was continued under the administrations firstly of Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin and subsequently the long reign of the ‘Sun King’, Louis XIV (1643-1715), by which time the country had replaced Spain as the major European power.

Have we forgotten our history, America? By James Ryan , Istanbul Graduate, United States Military Academy My dear fellow Americans, How dare we speak of the French that way. Just where do we think the ideas of liberty and justice and the rights of all people in the United States came from? Just what do we think inspired Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson? The answer is France, and its philosophes, in particular, Diderot, Montesqueu, Voltaire, and Rousseau. And just who gave the first and truest of American patriots aid and comfort during the Revolutionary War? Who made commercial and political alliances with our embattled Colonies? Who sent a fleet to engage the British navy at the mouth of Delaware Bay? The answers are: France, France, and France. And surely we remember Lafayette? Or have we forgotten our history so completely? Then why do we spill the wine of France into the streets of America?

Royalty.nu World Royalty Europe France > Marie Antoinette > Books About Marie Antoinette Videos About Marie Antoinette Search Marie Antoinette Marie Antoinette's Early Life Marie Antoinette was born in 1755. She was one of the 16 children of Maria Theresa, archduchess of Austria and queen of Hungary and Bohemia, and Holy Roman emperor Francis I. Her original name was Maria Antonia; Marie Antoinette was the name she took when she married. Archduchess Antonia grew up in the highly moral environment of her mother's court. Maria Theresa was a strong leader, beloved by her people. The busy empress supervised her children's upbringing as closely as she could, but Antonia's education was left largely in the hands of a governess who was happy to spoil the pretty, high-spirited little girl. Antonia spent more time playing than studying, although she enjoyed her music lessons and became an excellent harpist and dancer. Unlike so many royal couples, her parents had married for love and truly enjoyed family life. Although the court was a place of great formality on important occasions, in private the royal family was rather casual. Antonia regarded her mother with awe but was close to her good-natured father. A shadow fell over Antonia's sunny life in 1765, when her father died of a stroke at the age of 56. A few years later, Antonia's childhood came to an end. Her mother had arranged Antonia's marriage to the dauphin (crown prince) of France to cement an alliance between Austria and France. In 1770, at age 14, Marie Antoinette left her homeland and travelled to the French palace of Versailles to be married.

The Virtual Jewish History Tour France by Rebecca Weiner History Roman Period - Medieval Period Middle Ages 16th - 18th Centuries ... Synagogues at Comtat Venaissin Throughout its stormy history, from the Roman period until the present, Jews have lived in France, their fate intimately tied to the various kings and leaders. Despite physical hardship and anti-Semitism , Jewish intellectual and spiritual life flourished, producing some of the most famous Jewish rabbis and thinkers, including Rashi kosher restaurants than even New York City. History: Roman Period - Medieval Period A Jewish presence existed in France during the Roman period, but the community mainly consisted of isolated individuals, rather than an established community. After the Roman conquest of Jerusalem, boats filled with Jewish captives landed in Bordeaux, Arles and Lyons. Archeological finds of Jewish objects with menorahs imprinted on them date back to the first through fifth century. Jewish communities have been documented in 465 in Vannes (Brittany), in 524 in Valence and in 533 in Orleans. Jewish immigration increased during this period and attempts were made to convert the Jews to Christianity.

The importance of the Jesuit Relations in recreating the history of New France has long been recognized. Beginning where Champlain's writings leave off, these missionary texts are one of the major sources of information about the early years of French colonization in North America. In fact, without the Relations , large chapters of France's colonial history in North America would remain in obscurity. The recent enthusiasm with regards to Native history has attracted even more attention to these texts, which contain a wealth of information about Aboriginal societies encountered by the French, and about the consequences (economic, cultural, demographic, religious, etc.) of these encounters. Most of the Relations Between 1896 and 1901, historian Reuben Gold Thwaites (1853-1913) undertook the monumental task of providing the English translation of the Jesuit Relations . Thwaites endeavoured to provide more than just the Relations texts. He included many other papers, rare manuscipts and letters from the archives of the Society of Jesus spanning a period from the founding of the order to the death of Father Well, "[t]he Last Jesuit of Montreal" [Trad.], in 1791. One of the editors of the 18 000-page translation commented that "[a]t times one seems to be reading works of the imagination rendered with great literary skill, instead of official reports for the edification of the pious subjects across the sea. For the historian who likes to re-create the past through the delicate medium of the novel, here are fresh possibilities. May this route remain barred to those who have neither the grace nor the genius to use it skillfully!" [Trad.]

History From Brazil to France, the origins of samba The origins As shown in the definitions , samba exists since many years in Brazil. At first it was a music coming from the African slaves' rhythm mixture; it has been emerging since then as one of the main popular musical streams of Brazil. The word has actually an African origin: in the Quimbundo language "s e mba" means "navel bump" (Quimbundo is the language of the Bantus brought to Brazil from the area that became Angola). More about this topic: , Michel Philippot, 1983 (text in French). Samba and carnaval Samba became "the" carnival music around 1930. It was forbidden untill then, because of its obscenity, brutality and violent notoriety. The first samba schools were actually small groups with no more than 50 persons parading to the percussion sound, without specific costumes. These groups, also called "blocos" have been showed increasingly daring ideas and imagination. The first one bloco in 1928 was "Deixa Falar", in a district of Rio de Janeiro called Estacio. In a very short time, these parades went into well organized competitions. The first of them held in 1932 and was won by Mangueira. In 1935 samba schools were officially registered as Gremio (recreative clubs). SambaÕs rhythmic and melodic parts and its frenetic dance, developed and took shape in this great popular communal party that is carnival, through the rhythmic and melodic parts, and through the frenetic dance that goes with. It was then a way for all to express themselves and to unwind, whatever their social condition.
