Brief on History

The Republic of France is a country of Western Europe on the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. It was first settled by the Franks after the retreat of the Romans, who had conquered Celtic Gaul in 58-51 B.C. Charlemagne made it the center of his Empire of the West after A.D. 800. In the Middle Ages France was split into numerous fiefdoms and kingdoms, most of which were incorporated into the royal domain by the time of Louis XI. Widespread poverty and discontent led to the French Revolution and the end of the monarchy. The First Republic was followed by the First Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte , a period of constitutional monarchy, and a succession of republics broken by the Second Empire under Louis Napoleon. Much of France was occupied by Germany in World War II.
