The Origins of Fascism in France
The decade before the Nazi occupation was a period of bitter division in France, raising questions about the nature of French fascism.

This year France joins former combatant nations in commemorating the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Representatives from across Europe will take part in the annual Bastille Day parade while official ceremonies in a special calendar of events will mark the entry into the war on August 3rd and the Battle of the Marne the following month.
