A short history of French
The territory of France was first inhabited by the Celts, who were defeated by the Romans in 52 BC. Over the centuries, it came under the control of the Franks, the Germans, and became a powerful empire under Charlemagne. In the Middle Ages, during the rise of the Capetian dynasty, France experienced a period of great prosperity.
The Renaissance created a space for great artistic and intellectual creativity. Notable figures of the time include King Francis I, the philosopher Michel de Montaigne, the writer François Rabelais, Queen Catherine de’ Medici, the writers Pierre de Ronsard and François Villon, and the mathematician Blaise Pascal. But France has also attracted travellers; during the Renaissance, the Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci and the Polish astronomer and mathematician Nicolaus Copernicus, among others, worked here.
In the 18th century, the country was shaken by the Great French Revolution. It marked the end of the absolutist monarchy and the death of the then monarch Louis XVI and his family. The ideas of republic and democracy were born: liberty – equality – fraternity. It led to the unification of France under a central government and helped to establish a unified system of justice and the abolition of the feudal system and the nobility. . It contributed to the modernisation of agriculture, industry and the development of trade. Napoleon Bonaparte comes to power. After its fall, the monarchy was restored for a short period, but it was again replaced by a republic, and it has remained so ever since: France is now a fifth republic.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the country experienced significant reforms, but also conflicts. It has been involved in both world wars, with fighting also taking place on its territory, causing significant damage and loss of life. During the Second World War, France is occupied until its liberation by the Allied forces in 1944.
Since the end of the Second World War, France has become a major player in building European integration. It was one of the founding members of the European Union and NATO. The French economy is the world’s 6th strongest economy in terms of GDP and the EU’s second largest. It is one of the leading in the world and France is visited by millions of tourists every year. It attracts people all over the world with its history, culture, literature, music and, last but not least, its cuisine.
