They had been active even before the fall of the Second Empire, with Ferry writing articles against the Empire in Le Temps (Encyclopædia Britannica, 1998) and Clemenceau founding several Republican journals, and even being present at Léon Gambetta's proclamation of the Third Republic in 1870 (Monnerville, 2016).Whilst it is clear that the two men were both staunch supporters of a republic in the

European Immigration Policies and the Economic Crisis The Eurozone economic crisis began at the end of 2009. Essentially, the failure of the Euro caused huge problems in southern European countries (such as Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Italy). After the introduction of the Euro, these countries suddenly had the credit to borrow money like they hadn’t had before. They extravagantly increased spending with this borrowed money, which at first boosted the economy but eventually led to massive debts

not we know it or not. If a primary producer didn't exist, a entire food chain would more than likely collapse. We depend on our weakest links and everything around us.

Either way caterpillars, dolphins, arctic foxes, ice cream, and the eiffel tower are all related even if they aren't all animals, food, or monuments they are connected. Ever wondered about

the euros as gifts, then we became collectors. We all wanted to live in Paris, France. My Grandmama lived there with my Auntie Sage and her children. They didn’t know we were moving there it was their Christmas surprise. We were almost done packing when we forgot about my cat , Daise. “Daise, Daise, here kitty cat” I

Paris France, 1789 change is in the air, the people could feel the power they finally held after so many years of fear and doubt. The Bastille stood as a symbol of monarchy rule, the oppression of the people, and a barrier between the old world ways and the world of transformation. The Bastille erected on the edge of Paris, an image of protection; in 1789, the streets of Faubourg Saint-Antione suburb, with the growth of the city, engulfed it.

French architectures plays an important role in its culture. The Arena of Nîmes is a Gallo-Roman style architecture located in the city of Nîmes. It was built around 70 AD and remodeled in 1863 to serve as a bullring. Nowadays, bullfights are banned due to its cruelness. Notre Dame de Paris is a Gothic style Catholic cathedral in Paris.

The Musee de Louvre was the place I was most excited about when coming to France, and I have to say that I was not disappointed with it in the slightest. The one thing that I do regret coming into this was not knowing the background and history of the Louvre and a majority of its works. After doing some research, I came across the history and mission of The Musee de Louvre and I was fascinated with what I read: from knowing that The Louvre was originally created as a fortress to finding out how hard

Victor Hugo Victor Hugo is still known as one of the best writers in the French Romantic category (Barrère, Jean-Bertrand 1). He was born on February 26, 1802, in Besançon, France and his real name is Victor-Marie Hugo (“Victor Hugo” 1).
