    World history on Khan Academy: Called the Great War (before World War II came about), World War I was the bloody wake-up call that humanity was entering into a new stage of civilization. Really the defining conflict that took Europe from 19th Century Imperial states that saw heroism in war into a modern shape. Unfortunately, it had to go through World War II as well (that some would argue was due to imbalances created by World War I).

    France had a bunch of revolutions in the 1800s Russua had a number in the 1900s who will have them this century. (To any one who is going to comment saying French Revolution occured at the close of the 1700s I know but its fall out was mostly in the next century.

    Crossing my fingers for Egypt, Lybia and the other countries of the arab revolution that it doesn't take 81 years for you to finally get your republic. Looking back it's almost hillarious how often they put in place a leader who declares himself an emperor. Looking forward not so much...

    i know its way to late but anyways. @ the guy in the comments whining about french not being our lingua franca: your point is?
    let me rephrase: by that extend i could claim french is 90% latin and therefore, latin, which was spoken so long ago all over the known world, should be the rightful bearer of the title "lingua-franca"

    actually it was monarchy, republic, empire, monarchy, empire, monarchy, republic, monarchy, monarchy, monarchy, republic.
    European History in the 19th century is confusing because if you look at a random country and their government, chances are, 20 years later, that government has been overthrown, replaced and the successor was also overthrown and replaced.

    But there was a 1st Republic only on paper...Louis the 16th was guillotined in 1793, untill this date France was still a kingdom, then after the coup led by Robespierre in 1793 the ''revolutionnary government" was established, then came "directoire" and "consulate" before the napoleonian empire. Indeed Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was the first president of the republic before becoming an emperor. This Republic of 1848 is called indeed the Second Republic...but the 1st one never came to birth...

  • @Nic0maK
    @Nic0maK 11 лет назад

    yes of course, if you go further. i went as far as the video went, so both of us are right, i probably wasnt clear with that "finally republic" (though i doubt Vichy would have openly called itself facist). you may also go further into the past. starting maybe with the roman empire or its fall. :)

      Timothy Williams As a native french speaker the word misérables actually can mean a variety of things in the English translation. For lack of better word it just means well very bad. Victor Hugo wrote it as miserable, but yes in literal translation you are correct. The point is they are in a bad situation.

    French provides more than half of the English vocabulary. As I read that French was spoken from Russia to that huge New France and Canada, from Madagascar to Sweden, to hear that the English language is international and global, it sounds really like a joke.
