France Politics

La mondialisation, ce terme aujourd'hui à la mode, n'est pas un phénomène récent. Elle résulte de l'européanisation du monde, c'est-à-dire de l'expansion des nations européennes dans leur mouvement de conquête. L'auteur se propose à la fois de démystifier ce phénomène fondateur de la modernité occidentale, en montrant qu'il n'est porteur d'aucun sens de l'histoire, et d'en étudier les enjeux les plus actuels.

It all seemed to start as a protest against taxes. But as crowds of hundreds of thousands began to assemble in cities throughout France and Europe, it soon became apparent that this was no mere protest; this was the makings of a worldwide uprising. Drawing from scholarly studies and current events, Dr. Turley provides an easy-to-understand analysis that shows how the Yellow Vest Uprising is part of an even larger resurgent populism, and why it represents nothing less than the single greatest threat to the globalist political order yet seen.

Throughout history, a countless number of historical figures have had their lives overshadowed by the myths and legends that surround them to the extent that their legacy comes to define them. In French history, this is truer of Marie Antoinette than just about everyone else. Nearly 220 years after she was put to the guillotine, Marie Antoinette is more famous than ever, fairly or unfairly coming to epitomize royalty and everything that was wrong with it.

The bar was high after the glorious reign of the Sun King. Louis XV, his successor, had a difficult time driving the country through religious disputes, intellectual shifts and economical hardness. This eventually led to a steep economic decline, which played an important role in the reaction of the French people against the monarchy, and eventually gave way to the French Revolution.

Although he didn’t create absolutism in France, King Louis XIV seemed to embody the divine right of kings better than anyone had before him. Louis XIV directly correlated his own private good with that of the public good, but not everyone in France had the same sentiment. The resistance from the French nobles and aristocrats that Louis depended on to raise armies gave these nobles increasing autonomy and independence from the king, which would one day come to a head.

The whole question of women in history is an elusive one as the most written about ladies tend to be Queens, born or married into positions of power.

Avec la naissance de l'Etat, 3000 ans avant notre ère, l'espace géographique acquiert une dimension politique. Désormais, l'espace n'est plus seulement façonné et cloisonné par la diversité du milieu naturel et par celle du peuplement, mais aussi par l'exercice de souverainetés étatiques concurrentes. Il devient le théâtre et l'enjeu de rivalités pour le contrôle de voies stratégiques, de ressources vitales, mais aussi de territoires ou de lieux symboliques.
