French History for English Children

Description

A French history from the Primordial Gaul up to 1880, inscribed in a brief, simple and easy to understand texts for educating the children of England.

The primary written documentations for the history of France were sourced out in the Iron Age. France was created from the greater part of the region referred to the Romans as Gaul. Roman transcribers marked the existence of the three key ethno-linguistic groups in the region, they are the Gauls, the Aquitani, and the Belgae. The Gauls were the biggest and the most evidenced group, and the Celtic people spoke to what is called as the Gaulish dialect.

During the period of the 1st millennium BC, the Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians made settlements on the Mediterranean coast and on the offshore islands. The Roman Republic extended the south of Gaul as the province of Gallia Narbonensis in the final years of the 2nd century BC, and Roman warriors under Julius Caesar invaded the remainder of Gaul in the Gallic Wars of 58 – 51 BC. Then, a Gallo – Roman nation arose and Gaul was all the time more cohesive with the Roman Empire.

In the final phases of the Roman Empire, Gaul was imperiled to philistine incursions and resettlement, terribly by the Germanic Franks. Clovis I, the king of Franks, conjoined the majority of Gaul under his reign in the later part of the 5th century, bringing in the Frankish domination in the area for so many years. Frankish rule attained its maximum extent under Charlemagne. The primitive Kingdom of France began from the western part of Charlemagne’s Carolingian Empire, identified as the West Francia, and reached the highest notoriety under the reign of the House of Capet, originated by Hugh Capet in 987.

A string of events took part in the formation of the development of France. As of today, France became a permanent member in the UN Security Council and NATO.
