This book provides a detailed account of French history from the oripins of the Thrid Republic, born out of the collapse of Napoleon III's Second Empire, to the coming of the Great WAr in 1914. Part 1 begins with the fall of the "notables" and the victory of the republicans. Then follows a picture of the economy and society of late nineteenth-century France, and an examination of spiritual and cultural development under the increasing threat from nationalist and socialist forces. The moderates' brief ascendancy at the end of the century followed by the extreme sentiments unleashed at the time of the Dreyfus affair, brings the story in Part 2 to a more passionately political period, when the republic finallynbecame established as a bulwark of bourgeois prosperity, witnessing the rise of the banks and big business, and the dangerous revival of colonial expansion.

Third Republic,
By
This review is from: The Third Republic from its Origins to the Great War, 1871 - 1914 (The Cambridge History of Modern France) (Paperback)
This book is somewhat more scientific than I hoped. Of course it contains a lot of interesting info, exactly what I want, but the writing style is a little dry and photographs are lacking. I am enjoying it anyway!
