The Fifth Republic is the fifth and current republican constitution of France, introduced on 4 October 1958. The Fifth Republic emerged from the collapse of the French Fourth Republic, replacing the prior parliamentary government with a semi-presidential system. It is France's third-longest-enduring political regime, after the pre-revolutionary Ancien Régime and the Third Republic.

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is one of the world's principal aviation centres, as well as France's largest airport. It is named after Charles de Gaulle (1890--1970), leader of the Free French Forces and founder of the French Fifth Republic, as well as the President of France from 1959 to 1969. The airport is located within portions of several communes, 25 km (16 mi) to the northeast of Paris. The airport serves as the principal hub for Air France.
On 23 May 2004, not long after its inauguration, a portion of Terminal 2E's ceiling collapsed early in the day, near Gate E50, killing four people. Two of the dead were reported to be Chinese citizens and another a Czech. Three other people were injured in the collapse. Terminal 2E had been inaugurated in 2003 after some delays in construction and was designed by Paul Andreu. Administrative and judicial enquiries were started. Andreu also designed Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport, which collapsed while under construction on 28 September 2004.

France is a unitary sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean; France covers 640,679 square kilometres (247,368 sq mi) and has a population of 66.6 million. It is a semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the nation's largest city and the main cultural and commercial center. The Constitution of France establishes the country as secular and democratic, with its sovereignty derived from the people.
During the Iron Age, what is now France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. The Gauls were conquered by the Roman Empire in 51 BC, which held Gaul until 486. The Gallo-Romans faced raids and migration from the Germanic Franks, who dominated the region for hundreds of years, eventually creating the medieval Kingdom of France. France has been a major power in Europe since the Late Middle Ages, with its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453) strengthening French state-building and paving the way for a future centralized absolute monarchy. During the Renaissance, France experienced a vast cultural development and established the first steps of a worldwide colonial empire. The 16th century was dominated by Religious Civil Wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots).
Louis XIV made France the dominant cultural, political and military power in Europe, but by the late 18th century, the monarchy was overthrown in the French Revolution. One legacy of the revolution was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, one of the world's earliest documents on human rights, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day. France was governed as one of history's earliest Republics until the Empire was declared by Napoleon, who dominated European affairs and had a long-lasting impact on Western culture. Following his defeat, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments: an absolute monarchy was restored, replaced in 1830 by a constitutional monarchy, then briefly by a Second Republic, and then by a Second Empire, until a more lasting French Third Republic was established in 1870.
France's colonial empire reached the height of global prominence during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it possessed the second-largest colonial empire in the world. In World War I, France was one of the main winners as part of the Triple Entente powers fighting against Germany and the Central Powers. France was also one of the Allied Powers in World War II, but it was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, came into being in 1958 and continues to operate today. In the era of decolonization, most of the French colonial empire became independent after the Second World War.
Throughout its long history, France has produced many influential artists, thinkers, and scientists, and remains a prominent global center of culture. It hosts the world's fourth-largest number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites and receives around 83 million foreign tourists annually – the most of any country in the world. France remains a great power with significant cultural, economic, military, and political influence in Europe and around the world. It is a developed country with the world's fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth-largest by purchasing power parity. In terms of total household wealth, France is the wealthiest nation in Europe and fourth in the world. It also possesses the world's second largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ), covering 11,035,000 square kilometres (4,261,000 sq mi).
French citizens enjoy a high standard of living, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, civil liberties, and human development. France is a founding member of the United Nations, where it serves as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It is a member of numerous international institutions, including the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie. France is a founding and leading member state of the EU.

The Fifth Republic is the fifth and current republican constitution of France, introduced on 4 October 1958. The Fifth Republic emerged from the collapse of the French Fourth Republic, replacing the prior parliamentary government with a semi-presidential system. It is France's third-longest-enduring political regime, after the pre-Revolutionary Ancien Régime and the Third Republic.
The trigger for the collapse of the French Fourth Republic was the Algiers crisis of 1958. France was still a colonial power, although conflict and revolt had begun the process of decolonisation. French West Africa, French Indochina, and French Algeria still sent representatives to the French parliament under systems of limited suffrage in the French Union. Algeria in particular, despite being the colony with the largest French population, saw rising pressure for separation from the Metropole. The situation was complicated by those in Algeria, such as white settlers, who wanted to stay part of France, so the Algerian War became not just a separatist movement but had elements of a civil war. Further complications came when a section of the French army rebelled and openly backed the "Algérie française" movement to defeat separation. Charles de Gaulle, who had retired from politics a decade before, placed himself in the midst of the crisis, calling on the nation to suspend the government and create a new constitutional system. De Gaulle was carried to power by the inability of the parliament to choose a government, popular protest, and the last parliament of the Fourth Republic voting for their dissolution and the convening of a constitutional convention. Algeria became independent on 5 July 1962.

Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle (/ˈtʃɑrlz/ or /ˈʃɑrl dəˈɡɔːl/; French: [ʃaʁl də ɡol] (
listen); 22 November 1890 – 9 November 1970) was a French general and statesman who led the Free French Forces during World War II. He later founded the French Fifth Republic in 1958 and served as its first President from 1959 to 1969.
A veteran of World War I, in the 1920s and 1930s de Gaulle came to the fore as a proponent of mobile armoured divisions, which he considered would become central in modern warfare. During World War II, he earned the rank of brigadier general (retained throughout his life), leading one of the few successful armoured counter-attacks during the 1940 Battle of France in May in Montcornet, and then briefly served in the French government as France was falling. De Gaulle was the most senior French military officer to reject the June 1940 armistice to Nazi Germany right from the outset.
He escaped to Britain and gave a famous radio address, broadcast by the BBC on 18 June 1940, exhorting the French people to resist Nazi Germany and organised the Free French Forces with exiled French officers in Britain. As the war progressed de Gaulle gradually gained control of all French colonies except Indochina most of which had at first been controlled by the pro-German Vichy regime. Despite earning a reputation for being a difficult man to do business with, by the time of the Allied invasion of France in 1944 he was heading what amounted to a French government in exile, but although he insisted that France be treated as a great independent power by the other Allies, the Americans in particular remained deeply suspicious of his motives. De Gaulle became prime minister in the French Provisional Government, resigning in 1946 because of political conflicts.

France was also one of the Allied Powers in World War II, but it was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, came into being in 1958 and continues to operate today. In the era of decolonization, most of the French colonial empire became independent after the Second World War. Throughout its long history, France has produced many influential artists, thinkers, and scientists, and remains a prominent global center of culture. It hosts the world's fourth-largest number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites and receives around 83 million foreign tourists annually – the most of any country in the world. France remains a great power with significant cultural, economic, military, and political influence in Europe and around the world. It is a developed country with the world's fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth-largest by purchasing power parity. In terms of total household wealth, France is the wealthiest nation in Europe and fourth in the world. It also possesses the world's second largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ), covering 11,035,000 square kilometres (4,261,000 sq mi). French citizens enjoy a high standard of living, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, civil liberties, and human development. France is a founding member of the United Nations, where it serves as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It is a member of numerous international institutions, including the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie. France is a founding and leading member state of the EU. Source: Wikipedia -

Charles De Gaulle and the Algerian War | 1954-1960 | Documentary on the Algerian War of IndependenceCharles De Gaulle and the Algerian War | 1954-1960 | Documentary on the Algerian War of Independence
►My channel: http://youtube.com/TheBestFilmArchives ►SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/TheBestFilmArchives?sub_confirmation=1 ►Google+: http://plus.google.com/+TheBestFilmArchives ►Facebook: http://facebook.com/TheBestFilmArchives ►Twitter: http://twitter.com/BestFilmArch It is the story of the French General Charles de Gaulle's election as French President and his role in the Algerian War. About the Algerian War: The Algerian War, also known as the Algerian War of Independence or the Algerian Revolution (Arabic: الثورة الجزائرية), was a war between France and the Algerian independence movements from 1954 to 1962, which led to Algeria gaining its independence from France. An important decolonization war, it was a complex conflict characterized by guerrilla warfare, maquis fighting,terrorism, the use of torture by both sides, and counter-terrorism operations. The conflict was also a civil war between loyalist Algerians supporting a French Algeria and their insurrectionist Algerian Muslim counterparts. Effectively started by members of the National Liberation Front (FLN) on November 1, 1954, during the Toussaint Rouge ("Red All Saints' Day"), the conflict shook the foundations of the weak and unstable French Fourth Republic (1946–58) and led to its replacement by the Fifth Republic with a strengthened Presidency, with Charles de Gaulle acting in the latter role. Although the military campaigns led against Algerian nationalists were complete successes, with most prominent FLN leaders killed or arrested and terror attacks effectively stopped, the brutality of the methods employed failed to win hearts and minds in Algeria, alienated support in Metropolitan France and discredited French prestige abroad. In 1961, President Charles de Gaulle decided to give up Algeria, although it was regarded as an integral part of France, after conducting a referendum showing huge support for Algerian independence. The planned withdrawal led to a state crisis, to various assassination attempts on de Gaulle, and some attempts of military coups. Most of the former were carried out by the Organisation de l'armée secrète (OAS), an underground organization formed mainly from French military personnel supporting a French Algeria, which committed a large number of bombings and murders in both Algeria and the homeland to stop the planned independence. Upon independence, in 1962, 900,000 European-Algerians (Pieds-noirs) fled to France, in fear of the FLN's revenge, within a few months. The majority of Algerian Muslims who had worked for the French, were disarmed and left behind as the treaty between French and Algerian authorities declared that no actions could be taken against them. However, the Harkis in particular, having served as auxiliaries with the French army, were regarded as traitors by the FLN and between 50,000 and 150,000 Harkis and family members were murdered by the FLN or lynch-mobs, often after being abducted and tortured. La guerre d’Algérie ou Révolution algérienne (mais aussi guerre d'indépendance algérienne), est un conflit qui se déroule de 1954 à 1962 en Algérie, colonie française depuis 1830 et divisée en départements depuis 1848, et dont l'aboutissement est l'indépendance du territoire le 5 juillet 1962. En tant que guerre d'indépendance et de décolonisation, elle oppose des nationalistes algériens, principalement réunis sous la bannière du Front de libération nationale (FLN), à la France. Elle est à la fois un double conflit militaire et diplomatique et aussi une double guerre civile, entre les communautés d'une part et à l'intérieur des communautés d'autre part. Elle a lieu principalement sur le territoire de l'Algérie française , avec également des répercussions en France métropolitaine. Elle entraîne de graves crises politiques en France, avec pour conséquences le retour au pouvoir de Charles de Gaulle et la chute de la Quatrième République, remplacée par la Cinquième République. Après avoir donné du temps à l'armée pour écraser définitivement la révolte en utilisant tous les moyens à sa disposition, De Gaulle penche finalement pour l'autodétermination en tant que seule issue possible au conflit, ce qui conduit une fraction de l'armée française à se rebeller et entrer en opposition ouverte avec le pouvoir, rapidement matée. Le conflit débouche, après les accords d'Évian du 18 mars 1962, sur l'indépendance de l'Algérie le 5 juillet suivant, et précipite l'exode de la population des Européens d'Algérie juifs et chrétiens , dits Pieds-Noirs, ainsi que le massacre de plusieurs dizaines de milliers de harkis.

Let's Play Deus Ex: Lecture 34
Gotta love how the game has a map that's nothing more than a guided tour through an old French manor. Not that it's too old, though; the Third Republic lasted from 1870-1940, starting when the Franco-Prussian War deposed Napoleon III and ending when Germany occupied France in World War II. Currently France is on its Fifth Republic, established in 1958 after the post-war Fourth Republic rewrote the Constitution. The Fifth will be the oldest French Republic as of 2028, assuming nothing goes awry before then. Additional music is from the Fellowship of the Ring as performed by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, "The Tax Man Cometh" from the Waking Ned Devine soundtrack, and "3 in the Morning (Pianokind)" from the sixth Homestuck album. -

Semi-presidential system
The semi-presidential system (referred to as semi-presidentialism) is a system of government in which a popularly elected fixed term president exists alongside a prime minister and Cabinet who are responsible to the legislature of a state. It differs from a parliamentary republic in that it has a popularly elected head of state who is more than a purely ceremonial figurehead, and from the presidential system in that the cabinet, although named by the president, is responsible to the legislature, which may force the cabinet to resign through a motion of no confidence. While the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) was the one of the earliest examples of a semi-presidential system, the term was first used in a 1978 work by political scientist Maurice Duverger to describe the then relatively-new Frenc... -

The Fifth Republic emerged from the collapse of the French Fourth Republic, replacing the prior parliamentary government with a semi-presidential system.

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is one of the world's principal aviation centres, as well as France's largest airport. It is named after Charles de Gaulle (1890--1970), leader of the Free French Forces and founder of the French Fifth Republic, as well as the President of France from 1959 to 1969. The airport is located within portions of several communes, 25 km (16 mi) to the northeast of Paris. The airport serves as the principal hub for Air France.
On 23 May 2004, not long after its inauguration, a portion of Terminal 2E's ceiling collapsed early in the day, near Gate E50, killing four people. Two of the dead were reported to be Chinese citizens and another a Czech. Three other people were injured in the collapse. Terminal 2E had been inaugurated in 2003 after some delays in construction and was designed by Paul Andreu. Administrative and judicial enquiries were started. Andreu also designed Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport, which collapsed while under construction on 28 September 2004.

France is a unitary sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean; France covers 640,679 square kilometres (247,368 sq mi) and has a population of 66.6 million. It is a semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the nation's largest city and the main cultural and commercial center. The Constitution of France establishes the country as secular and democratic, with its sovereignty derived from the people.
During the Iron Age, what is now France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. The Gauls were conquered by the Roman Empire in 51 BC, which held Gaul until 486. The Gallo-Romans faced raids and migration from the Germanic Franks, who dominated the region for hundreds of years, eventually creating the medieval Kingdom of France. France has been a major power in Europe since the Late Middle Ages, with its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453) strengthening French state-building and paving the way for a future centralized absolute monarchy. During the Renaissance, France experienced a vast cultural development and established the first steps of a worldwide colonial empire. The 16th century was dominated by Religious Civil Wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots).
Louis XIV made France the dominant cultural, political and military power in Europe, but by the late 18th century, the monarchy was overthrown in the French Revolution. One legacy of the revolution was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, one of the world's earliest documents on human rights, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day. France was governed as one of history's earliest Republics until the Empire was declared by Napoleon, who dominated European affairs and had a long-lasting impact on Western culture. Following his defeat, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments: an absolute monarchy was restored, replaced in 1830 by a constitutional monarchy, then briefly by a Second Republic, and then by a Second Empire, until a more lasting French Third Republic was established in 1870.
France's colonial empire reached the height of global prominence during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it possessed the second-largest colonial empire in the world. In World War I, France was one of the main winners as part of the Triple Entente powers fighting against Germany and the Central Powers. France was also one of the Allied Powers in World War II, but it was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, came into being in 1958 and continues to operate today. In the era of decolonization, most of the French colonial empire became independent after the Second World War.
Throughout its long history, France has produced many influential artists, thinkers, and scientists, and remains a prominent global center of culture. It hosts the world's fourth-largest number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites and receives around 83 million foreign tourists annually – the most of any country in the world. France remains a great power with significant cultural, economic, military, and political influence in Europe and around the world. It is a developed country with the world's fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth-largest by purchasing power parity. In terms of total household wealth, France is the wealthiest nation in Europe and fourth in the world. It also possesses the world's second largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ), covering 11,035,000 square kilometres (4,261,000 sq mi).
French citizens enjoy a high standard of living, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, civil liberties, and human development. France is a founding member of the United Nations, where it serves as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It is a member of numerous international institutions, including the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie. France is a founding and leading member state of the EU.

It is the story of the French General Charles de Gaulle's election as French President and his role in the Algerian War.
About the Algerian War:
The Algerian War, also known as the Algerian War of Independence or the Algerian Revolution (Arabic: الثورة الجزائرية), was a war between France and the Algerian independence movements from 1954 to 1962, which led to Algeria gaining its independence from France. An important decolonization war, it was a complex conflict characterized by guerrilla warfare, maquis fighting,terrorism, the use of torture by both sides, and counter-terrorism operations. The conflict was also a civil war between loyalist Algerians supporting a French Algeria and their insurrectionist Algerian Muslim counterparts.
Effectively started by members of the National Liberation Front (FLN) on November 1, 1954, during the Toussaint Rouge ("Red All Saints' Day"), the conflict shook the foundations of the weak and unstable French Fourth Republic (1946–58) and led to its replacement by the Fifth Republic with a strengthened Presidency, with Charles de Gaulle acting in the latter role. Although the military campaigns led against Algerian nationalists were complete successes, with most prominent FLN leaders killed or arrested and terror attacks effectively stopped, the brutality of the methods employed failed to win hearts and minds in Algeria, alienated support in Metropolitan France and discredited French prestige abroad.
In 1961, President Charles de Gaulle decided to give up Algeria, although it was regarded as an integral part of France, after conducting a referendum showing huge support for Algerian independence. The planned withdrawal led to a state crisis, to various assassination attempts on de Gaulle, and some attempts of military coups. Most of the former were carried out by the Organisation de l'armée secrète (OAS), an underground organization formed mainly from French military personnel supporting a French Algeria, which committed a large number of bombings and murders in both Algeria and the homeland to stop the planned independence.
Upon independence, in 1962, 900,000 European-Algerians (Pieds-noirs) fled to France, in fear of the FLN's revenge, within a few months. The majority of Algerian Muslims who had worked for the French, were disarmed and left behind as the treaty between French and Algerian authorities declared that no actions could be taken against them. However, the Harkis in particular, having served as auxiliaries with the French army, were regarded as traitors by the FLN and between 50,000 and 150,000 Harkis and family members were murdered by the FLN or lynch-mobs, often after being abducted and tortured.
La guerre d’Algérie ou Révolution algérienne (mais aussi guerre d'indépendance algérienne), est un conflit qui se déroule de 1954 à 1962 en Algérie, colonie française depuis 1830 et divisée en départements depuis 1848, et dont l'aboutissement est l'indépendance du territoire le 5 juillet 1962.
En tant que guerre d'indépendance et de décolonisation, elle oppose des nationalistes algériens, principalement réunis sous la bannière du Front de libération nationale (FLN), à la France. Elle est à la fois un double conflit militaire et diplomatique et aussi une double guerre civile, entre les communautés d'une part et à l'intérieur des communautés d'autre part. Elle a lieu principalement sur le territoire de l'Algérie française , avec également des répercussions en France métropolitaine.
Elle entraîne de graves crises politiques en France, avec pour conséquences le retour au pouvoir de Charles de Gaulle et la chute de la Quatrième République, remplacée par la Cinquième République. Après avoir donné du temps à l'armée pour écraser définitivement la révolte en utilisant tous les moyens à sa disposition, De Gaulle penche finalement pour l'autodétermination en tant que seule issue possible au conflit, ce qui conduit une fraction de l'armée française à se rebeller et entrer en opposition ouverte avec le pouvoir, rapidement matée. Le conflit débouche, après les accords d'Évian du 18 mars 1962, sur l'indépendance de l'Algérie le 5 juillet suivant, et précipite l'exode de la population des Européens d'Algérie juifs et chrétiens , dits Pieds-Noirs, ainsi que le massacre de plusieurs dizaines de milliers de harkis.

France Travel / Tourism.
France, officially the French Republic, is a unitary sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean; due to its shape, it is often referred to in French as l’Hexagone ("The Hexagon"). France is one of only three countries (with Morocco and Spain) to have both Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. France has a population of 66.6 million. It is a semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the nation's largest city and the main cultural and commercial center. The Constitution of France establishes the country as secular and democratic, with its sovereignty derived from the people.
During the Iron Age, what is now France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. The Gauls were conquered by the Roman Empire in 51 BC, which held Gaul until 486. The Gallo-Romans faced raids and migration from the Germanic Franks, who dominated the region for hundreds of years, eventually creating the medieval Kingdom of France. France has been a major power in Europe since the Late Middle Ages, with its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453) strengthening French nationalism and paving the way for a future centralized absolute monarchy. During the Renaissance, France experienced a vast cultural development and established the first steps of a worldwide colonial empire. The 16th century was dominated by Religious Civil Wars primarily fought between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots).
Louis XIV made France the dominant cultural, political and military power in Europe, but by the late 18th century, the monarchy was overthrown in the French Revolution. One legacy of the revolution was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, one of the world's earliest documents on human rights, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day. The country was governed as one of history's earliest Republics, until the Empire was declared by Napoleon Bonaparte, who dominated European affairs and had a long-lasting impact on Western culture. Following his defeat, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments: an absolute monarchy was restored, replaced in 1830 by a constitutional monarchy, then briefly by a Second Republic, and then by a Second Empire, until a more lasting French Third Republic was established in 1870.
France's colonial empire reached the height of global prominence during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it possessed the second-largest colonial empire in the world. In World War I, France was one of the Triple Entente powers fighting against Germany and the Central Powers. France was one of the Allied Powers in World War II, but it was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established, but it was dissolved in the course of the Algerian War and replaced by the Charles de Gaulle-led French Fifth Republic. Into the 1960s decolonization saw most of the French colonial empire become independent. Throughout its long history, France has produced many influential artists, thinkers, and scientists, and remains a prominent global center of culture. It hosts the world's fourth-largest number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites and receives around 83 million foreign tourists annually – the most of any country in the world.
France remains a great power with significant cultural, economic, military, and political influence in Europe and around the world. It is a developed country with the world's fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth-largest by purchasing power parity. In terms of total household wealth, France is the wealthiest nation in Europe and fourth in the world. French citizens enjoy a high standard of living, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, civil liberties, and human development. France is a founding member of the United Nations, where it serves as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It is a member of numerous international institutions, including the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie. France is a founding and leading member state of the EU.

Gotta love how the game has a map that's nothing more than a guided tour through an old French manor. Not that it's too old, though; the Third Republic lasted from 1870-1940, starting when the Franco-Prussian War deposed Napoleon III and ending when Germany occupied France in World War II. Currently France is on its Fifth Republic, established in 1958 after the post-war Fourth Republic rewrote the Constitution. The Fifth will be the oldest French Republic as of 2028, assuming nothing goes awry before then.
Additional music is from the Fellowship of the Ring as performed by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, "The Tax Man Cometh" from the Waking Ned Devine soundtrack, and "3 in the Morning (Pianokind)" from the sixth Homestuck album.

The semi-presidential system (referred to as semi-presidentialism) is a system of government in which a popularly elected fixed term president exists alongside a prime minister and Cabinet who are responsible to the legislature of a state. It differs from a parliamentary republic in that it has a popularly elected head of state who is more than a purely ceremonial figurehead, and from the presidential system in that the cabinet, although named by the president, is responsible to the legislature, which may force the cabinet to resign through a motion of no confidence.
While the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) was the one of the earliest examples of a semi-presidential system, the term was first used in a 1978 work by political scientist Maurice Duverger to describe the then relatively-new French Fifth Republic, which he dubbed a régime semi-présidentiel.

François Gérard Georges Nicolas Hollande (born 12 August 1954) is the 24th and current president of France and co-prince of Andorra. He was previously the first secretary of the French Socialist Party from 1997 to 2008, and the deputy of the National Assembly of France for Corrèze's 1st constituency from 1988 to 1993 and then again from 1997 to 2012. He also served as the mayor of Tulle from 2001 to 2008 and the president of the General Council of Corrèze from 2008 to 2012. He was elected president of France on 6 May 2012, defeating the incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, and was sworn in on 15 May. He is the second Socialist Party president of the French Fifth Republic, after François Mitterrand.
Hollande has also announced his personal support for same-sex marriage and adoption for LGBT couples, and has outlined plans to pursue the issue in early 2013.[35] In July 2012, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault announced that "In the first half of 2013, the right to marriage and adoption will be open to all couples, without discrimination [...]", confirming this election promise by Hollande.[36][37]
The bill to legalize same-sex marriage, known as Bill no. 344, was introduced to the National Assembly of France on 7 November 2012. On 12 February 2013, the National Assembly approved the bill in a 329-229 vote.[38] The Senate approved the full bill with a 171-165 majority on 12 April with minor amendments. On 23 April, the National Assembly approved the amended bill, in a 331-225 vote, and following approval of the law by the Constitutional Council of France, it was signed into law by President François Hollande on May 18, 2013, with the first same-sex weddings under the law taking place eleven days later.[39]
As President, Hollande promised an early withdrawal of French combat troops present in Afghanistan in 2012.[40][41] He also pledged to conclude a new contract of Franco-German partnership, advocating the adoption of a Directive on the protection of public services. Hollande has proposed "an acceleration of the establishment of a Franco-German civic service, the creation of a Franco-German research office, the creation of a Franco-German industrial fund to finance common competitiveness clusters, and the establishment of a common military headquarters".[42] As well as this, Hollande has expressed a wish to "combine the positions of the presidents of the European Commission and of the European Council (currently held by José Manuel Barroso and Herman van Rompuy respectively) into a single office...and that it should be directly chosen" by the members of the European Parliament.[42]
On 11 January 2013, Hollande authorised the execution of Operation Serval, which aimed to curtail the activities of Islamic extremists in the north of Mali.[40] The intervention was popularly supported in Mali, as Hollande promised that his government would do all it could to "rebuild Mali".[43] During his one-day visit to Bamako, Mali's capital, on February 2, 2013, he said that it was "the most important day in [his] political life".

Germany's fifth largest city, Frankfurt am Main is the nation's economic powerhouse, as well as being a highly regarded cultural centre.
Located in the middle of the highly productive Rhine-Main region, right at the centre of Europe, the city is the financial heart not only of Germany, but also of the European Union.
The modern skyscrapers of banks and big business in the central business district are potent symbols of Frankfurt's economic strength and create a skyline that is more North American than European in aspect -- indeed, the city is often dubbed 'Mainhattan'.
Most of Frankfurt's visitors come for one of the numerous trade fairs, exhibitions and congresses. But Frankfurt has another side. As the birthplace of Germany's most revered writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), the city is at pains to impress with its cultural pedigree. Excellent museums, high-calibre performance groups and local festivals tempt too.
-------------------
Frankfurt History
A settlement since at least 3000BC, and settled by the Romans, as the name of the Römer district implies, Frankfurt am Main, to give it its full name and differentiate it from Frankfurt and der Oder in the east of the country, has been Germany's financial centre for centuries.
Frankfurt's long history of commerce stems from its central geographical location on the Main River and the Frankfurt Messe (fair). The Messe has been going since the 12th century and the city received its official Imperial privilege to hold an annual trade fair 100 years later.
The Frankfurt Börse (stock exchange) began trading in the late 16th. If Frankfurt's political aspirations were dashed by the choice of Bonn as capital of the Federal Republic in 1949, the city has directed its post-war energies all the more wholeheartedly into its uncontested financial role.
Frankfurt has been subject to the deprivations of war on numerous occasions, notably during the Napoleonic Wars, when it was seized and occupied by the French on several occasions. And it was severely bombed during WWII, action that resulted in the almost complete destruction of the city's medieval centre -- hence its present mainly modern architecture.
However, a number of old buildings in the Römerberg area were reconstructed in their original style, as was the cathedral.
In latter years, Frankfurt has become a remarkably cosmopolitan city -- it's estimated that people of 180 different nationalities live and work there. It has large Turkish, Korean and Sri Lankan communities among these.

Weather in Frankfurt
Best time to visit:
Frankfurt's climate is generally mild and well balanced with warm, occasionally wet days in summer, with temperatures sometimes reaching 30°C (90°F) and more, and chilly winter days, when temperatures range between -10°C (14°F) and 10°C (40°F).

France is a member state of the European Union, the largest one by area. It is also the third largest in Europe behind Russia and Ukraine. It would be second if its extra-European territories like French Guiana were included.

France Travel - France is a state in Western Europe with several of its overseas territories and islands located on other continents and in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as LHexagone (The Hexagon) because of the geometric shape of its territory. It is bordered (clockwise from the north) by Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Spain and Andorra. Frances overseas departments and collectivities also share land borders with Brazil and Suriname (bordering French Guiana), and the Netherlands Antilles (bordering Saint-Martin). France is linked to the United Kingdom by the Channel Tunnel, which passes underneath the English Channel.
France is a member state of the European Union, the largest one by area. It is also the third largest in Europe behind Russia and Ukraine. It would be second if its extra-European territories like French Guiana were included. France has been a major power for several centuries with strong economic, cultural, military and political influence. During the 17th and 18th centuries, France colonised great parts of North America; during the 19th and early 20th centuries, France built the second largest empire of the time, including large portions of North, West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and many Pacific islands.

The Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo), also known as Congo Republic or Congo-Brazzaville, is a country located in Central Africa. It is bordered by Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Angolan exclave of Cabinda.
The region was dominated by Bantu-speaking tribes, who built trade links leading into the Congo River basin. Congo-Brazzaville was formerly part of the French colony of Equatorial Africa. Upon independence in 1960, the former colony of French Congo became the Republic of the Congo. The People's Republic of the Congo was a Marxist–Leninist single-party state from 1970 to 1991. Multi-party elections have been held since 1992, although a democratically elected government was ousted in the 1997 Republic of the Congo Civil War.
Bantu-speaking peoples who founded tribes during the Bantu expansions largely displaced and absorbed the earliest inhabitants of the region, the Pygmy people, about 1500 BC. The Bakongo, a Bantu ethnicity that also occupied parts of present-day Angola, Gabon and Democratic Republic of the Congo, formed the basis for ethnic affinities and rivalries among those countries. Several Bantu kingdoms—notably those of the Kongo, the Loango, and the Teke—built trade links leading into the Congo River basin.
The Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão reached the mouth of the Congo in 1484. Commercial relationships quickly grew up between the inland Bantu kingdoms and European merchants who traded various commodities, manufactured goods, and slaves captured from the hinterlands. For centuries the Congo river delta served as a major commercial hub for transatlantic trade. However, direct European colonization of the area began in the late 19th century and eroded the power of the Bantu societies in the region.
The area north of the Congo River came under French sovereignty in 1880 as a result of Pierre de Brazza's treaty with Makoko of the Bateke. This Congo Colony became known first as French Congo, then as Middle Congo in 1903. In 1908, France organized French Equatorial Africa (AEF), comprising Middle Congo, Gabon, Chad, and Oubangui-Chari (the modern Central African Republic). The French designated Brazzaville as the federal capital. Economic development during the first 50 years of colonial rule in Congo centered on natural-resource extraction. The methods were often brutal: establishment of the Congo–Ocean Railroad following World War I has been estimated to have cost at least 14,000 lives.
During the Nazi occupation of France during World War II, Brazzaville functioned as the symbolic capital of Free France between 1940 and 1943. The Brazzaville Conference of 1944 heralded a period of major reform in French colonial policy. Congo benefited from the postwar expansion of colonial administrative and infrastructure spending as a result of its central geographic location within AEF and the federal capital at Brazzaville. It also received a local legislature after the adoption of the 1946 constitution that established the Fourth Republic.
Following the revision of the French constitution that established the Fifth Republic in 1958, the AEF dissolved into its constituent parts, each of which became an autonomous colony within the French Community. During these reforms, Middle Congo became known as the Republic of the Congo in 1958[9] and published its first constitution in 1959. Antagonism between the pro-Opangault Mbochis and the pro-Youlou Balalis resulted in a series of riots in Brazzaville in February 1959, which the French Army subdued.
The Republic of the Congo received full independence from France on August 15, 1960. Fulbert Youlou ruled as the country's first president until labour elements and rival political parties instigated a three-day uprising that ousted him. The Congolese military took charge of the country briefly and installed a civilian provisional government headed by Alphonse Massamba-Débat.
Under the 1963 constitution, Massamba-Débat was elected President for a five-year term. During Massamba-Débat's term in office the regime adopted "scientific socialism" as the country's constitutional ideology. In 1965, Congo established relations with the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, North Korea and North Vietnam. Massamba-Débat was unable to reconcile various institutional and ideological factions and his regime ended abruptly with a bloodless coup d'état in August 1968.

Charles De Gaulle has its own Train Station, not to mention Subway and Light Rail lines going to and from the Airport. (don't get me started about LAX and how NOTHING connects to it...I am surprised Mayor Bradley didn't have us just walk to the airport...LAX is so poorly conceived, don't get me started) ....now where was I, oh yeah...CDG. Not more to be said except it works like a charm. I took the train straight from Rennes to CDG...no stops in Paris...or transfers. Amazing. That would be like taking a train from Palm Springs to LAX ..no transfer....we can only dream here in California. And from the Train station and a few lifts and moving sidewalks...one is in CDG Airport. This film is about both.
Fun Facts below:
Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV is a major passenger railway station in Tremblay-en-France, Paris, France. It is located directly beneath terminal two of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (between the C/D and E/F concourses) and is operated by the SNCF. The station was opened in 1994. It connects the airport to Paris and to various others cities in France, as well as to Belgium.
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, also known as Roissy Airport (or just Roissy in French), is one of the world's principal aviation centres, as well as France's largest international airport. It is named after Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970), leader of the Free French Forces and founder of the French Fifth Republic, as well as the President of France from 1959 to 1969. The airport is located within portions of several communes, 25 km (16 mi) to the northeast of Paris. The airport serves as the principal hub for Air France as well as a European hub for Delta Air Lines.
In 2013, the airport handled 62,052,917 passengers and 497,763 aircraft movements, making it the world's eighth-busiest airport and Europe's second-busiest airport (after London Heathrow) in passengers served. It also is the world's tenth-busiest and it is Europe's second-busiest airport (after London Heathrow) in aircraft movements. In cargo traffic, the airport is the eighth-busiest in the world and the busiest in Europe, having handled 2,150,950 metric tonnes of cargo in 2012. On 1 March 2011, Franck Goldnadel was appointed as the director of the airport.

The Luxembourg Palace is located at 15 rue de Vaugirard in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It was originally built between 1615 and 1645 to be the royal residence of the regent Marie de Médicis, mother of Louis XIII of France. After the Revolution it was refashioned into a legislative building between 1835-1836 it was enlarged and remodeled. Since 1958 it has been the seat of the French Senate of the Fifth Republic. On the south side of the palace, the formal Luxembourg Garden presents a 25-hectare green parterre of gravel and lawn populated with statues and large basins of water where children sail model boats, some of which can be seen in the video below. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxembourg_Palace
Like many of the other magnificent buildings and palaces around Paris, and indeed elsewhere in France, one can only marvel at the amount of planning, money, labor, and resources that must have gone into erecting this massive palace, and into landscaping and maintaining the stunning gardens on which the palace and other buildings stand.
Today, the palace building is the home of the French senate. During my brief three of four hour visit to the palace grounds, I did not enter the main building itself. In fact, I'm not even sure if the building is open to the general public. However, the beautifully maintained gardens are open, and during my outing they were well patronized by locals and international visitors alike. There is much to see around the grounds including a series of statues of former French queens, saints and reproductions of classical Antiques.
You can wander through an orchard of apple and pear trees, enjoy a performance of the théâtre des marionnettes (puppet theatre), ride on a vintage carousel, enjoy one of the many free musical performances scheduled throughout the summer months, and visit the Orangerie with its displays of art, photography, and numerous sculptures. The grounds of the garden also contain more than one hundred statues, monuments, and fountains scattered throughout the 25-hectares (61 acres), including Frédéric Bartholdi’s first 1870 model for the Statue of Liberty.

Mauritius, officially the Republic of Mauritius (French: République de Maurice), is an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) off the southeast coast of the African continent. The country includes the island of Mauritius, Rodrigues (560 kilometres (350 mi) east), and the outer islands (Agaléga, St. Brandon and two disputed territories). The islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues (172 km (107 mi) southwest) form part of the Mascarene Islands, along with nearby Réunion, a French overseas department. The area of the country is 2,040 km2. The capital and largest city is Port Louis.
The sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago disputed between Mauritius and the United Kingdom. The UK excised the archipelago from Mauritian territory prior to Mauritian independence in 1965. The UK gradually depopulated the archipelago's indigenous population and leased its biggest island, Diego Garcia, to the United States. The archipelago is prohibited to casual tourists, the media, and its former inhabitants. Mauritius also claim sovereignty over Tromelin Island from France.
The island of Mauritius was visited during the medieval period by the Arabs and then by the Portuguese, who named it Dina Arobi and Cirne, respectively. The island was uninhabited until the Dutch Republic established a colony in 1638, with the Dutch naming the island after Prince Maurice van Nassau. The Dutch colony was abandoned in 1710, and, five years later, the island became a French colony and was named Isle de France. Due to its strategic position, Mauritius was known as the "star and key" of the Indian Ocean.[18]
Mauritius became an important base on the trade routes from Europe to the East before the opening of the Suez Canal and was involved in the long power struggle between the French and the British. The French won the Battle of Grand Port, their only naval victory over the British during these wars, but they could not prevent the British from landing at Cap Malheureux three months later. They formally surrendered on the fifth day of the invasion, 3 December 1810, on terms allowing settlers to keep their land and property, the use of the French language, and the law of France in criminal and civil matters.
Under British rule, the island's name reverted to Mauritius. The country became an independent state on 12 March 1968, following the adoption of a new constitution and became a republic within the Commonwealth in 1992.
The people of Mauritius are multiethnic, multi-religious, multicultural and multilingual. The island's government is closely modelled on the Westminster parliamentary system, and Mauritius is highly ranked for democracy and for economic and political freedom. Along with the other Mascarene Islands, Mauritius is known for its varied flora and fauna, with many species endemic to the island. The island is widely known as the only known home of the dodo, which, along with several other avian species, was made extinct by human activities relatively shortly after the island's settlement.

France (French: [fʁɑ̃s]), officially the French Republic (French: République française [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]) is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories.[XVI] The European part of France, called Metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. France spans 643,801 square kilometres (248,573 sq mi) and has a total population of 67.2 million.[VI][3] It is a unitary semi-presidential republic with the capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. The Constitution of France establishes the state as secular and democratic, with its sovereignty derived from the people.
During the Iron Age, what is now Metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls, a Celtic people. The Gauls were conquered in 51 BC by the Roman Empire, which held Gaul until 486. The Gallo-Romans faced raids and migration from the Germanic Franks, who dominated the region for hundreds of years, eventually creating the medieval Kingdom of France. France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages, with its victory in the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453) strengthening French state-building and paving the way for a future centralized absolute monarchy. During the Renaissance, France experienced a vast cultural development and established the beginning of a global colonial empire. The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots).
France became Europe's dominant cultural, political, and military power under Louis XIV. French philosophers played a key role in the Age of Enlightenment during the 18th century. In the late 18th century, the absolute monarchy was overthrown in the French Revolution. Among its legacies was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, one of the earliest documents on human rights, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day. France became one of modern history's earliest republics until Napoleon took power and launched the First French Empire in 1804. Fighting against a complex set of coalitions during the Napoleonic Wars, he dominated European affairs for over a decade and had a long-lasting impact on Western culture. Following the collapse of the Empire, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments: the monarchy was restored, it was replaced in 1830 by a constitutional monarchy, then briefly by a Second Republic, and then by a Second Empire, until a more lasting French Third Republic was established in 1870. The French republic had tumultuous relationships with the Catholic Church from the dechristianization of France during the French Revolution to the 1905 law establishing laïcité. Laïcité is a strict but consensual form of secularism, which is nowadays an important federative principle in the modern French society.
France reached its territorial height during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it ultimately possessed the second-largest colonial empire in the world. In World War I, France was one of the main winners as part of the Triple Entente alliance fighting against the Central Powers. France was also one of the Allied Powers in World War II, but came under occupation by the Axis Powers in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, was formed in 1958 and remains to this day. Following World War II, most of the French colonial empire became decolonized.
Throughout its long history, France has been a leading global center of culture, making significant contributions to art, science, and philosophy. It hosts Europe's third-largest number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites (after Italy and Spain) and receives around 83 million foreign tourists annually, the most of any country in the world. France remains a great power with significant cultural, economic, military, and political influence. It is a developed country with the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal GDP] and ninth-largest by purchasing power parity.According to Credit Suisse, France is the fourth wealthiest nation in the world in terms of aggregate household wealth. It also possesses the world's largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ), covering 11,691,000 square kilometres (4,514,000 sq mi)
French citizens enjoy a high standard of living, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, civil liberties, and human development. France is a founding member of the United Nations, where it serves as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It is a member of the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

Brazil Travel - Brazil is the largest country in South America and the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas. It is the fifth largest country by geographical area and the fifth most populous country in the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of over 7,491 kilometers (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas department of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos are part of the Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz.
Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until its independence in 1822. Initially independent as the Brazilian Empire, the country has been a republic since 1889, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to 1824, when the first constitution was ratified. Its current Constitution defines Brazil as a Federal Republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.
Brazil is the worlds eighth largest economy by nominal GDP and the ninth largest by purchasing power parity. Economic reforms have given the country new international recognition. Brazil is a founding member of the United Nations, the G20, Mercosul and the Union of South American Nations, and is one of the BRIC Countries.

Officials said at least 42 people, mostly elderly tourists starting off on a day trip, were killed Friday when a bus and truck collided on a country road in wine country in southwest France. French President Francois Hollande, on a visit to Greece, said the government was "totally mobilized" to help after what he called a "terrible accident." The bus was carrying mostly elderly people from nearby towns on a one-day tourist trip to another site in southwest France, and had just left when it collided with the truck.

With the past and ongoing restoration and conservation projects at Versailles, the Fifth Republic has enthusiastically promoted the museum as one of Frances foremost tourist attractions (Opperman, 2004). The palace, however, still serves political functions. Heads of state are regaled in the Hall of Mirrors; the Sénat and the Assemblée nationale meet in congress in Versailles to revise or otherwise amend the French Constitution, a tradition that came into effect with the promulgation of the 1875 Constitution.Public establishment of the museum and Château de Versailles Spectacles recently organised the Jeff Koons Versailles exhibition. Jeff Koons said that "I hope the juxtaposition of today's surfaces, represented by my work, with the architecture and fine arts of Versailles will be an exciting interaction for the viewer.
Elena Geuna and Laurent Le Bon, curators of the exhibition present it as follow: "It is the city aspect that underlies this entire venture. In recent years, many a cultural institution has attempted a confrontation between a heritage setting and contemporary works. The originality of this exhibition seems to us somewhat different, as regards both the chosen venue and the way it has been laid out. Echo, dialectic, opposition, counterpoint... Not for us to judge!"

The Champs-Élysées (French for "Eliseo's Fields) is the most prestigious and broadest avenue in Paris. Its full name is "Avenue des Champs-Élysées". With its cinemas, cafés, and luxury specialty shops, the Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous streets in the world, and with rents as high as $1.50 million a year for 1,000 square feet (100 m²) of space, it remains the 2nd most expensive strip of real estate in the world (the first in Europe) after New York City's Fifth Avenue. The name refers to the Elysian Fields, the place of the blessed in Roman mythology.
The Champs-Élysées is known in France as La plus belle avenue du monde ("The most beautiful avenue in the world"). The arrival of global chain stores in recent years has slightly changed the character of the avenue, and in a first effort to stem these changes, the Paris City government (which has called this "banalization") decided in 2007 to ban the Swedish clothing chain H&M; from opening a store on the avenue.
The avenue runs for 2 kilometres (1.25 miles) through the 8th arrondissement in northwestern Paris, from the Place de la Concorde in the east, with its obelisk, to the Place Charles de Gaulle (formerly the Place de l'Étoile) in the west, location of the Arc de Triomphe. The Champs-Élysées forms part of the Axe historique. One of the principal tourist destinations in Paris, the lower part of the Champs-Élysées is bordered by greenery (Marigny Square) and by buildings such as the Théâtre Marigny and the Grand Palais (containing the Palais de la Découverte). The Elysée Palace is a little bit to the north, but not on the avenue itself. Further to the west, the avenue is lined with cinemas, theaters, cafés and restaurants (most notably Fouquet's), and 2014 luxury specialty shops.
Finally, the avenue is one of the most famous streets for shopping in the world. Benetton, the Disney Store, Nike, Zara, continental Europe's largest Gap and Virgin Megastore as well as Sephora occupy major spaces. Traditionally home of luxury brands, the Champs Elysées confirms its worldclass appeal as a prime real estate location: it has lately seen the opening of new big upscale shops such as the biggest Louis Vuitton department store in the world, which even hosts an exhibition room, and Adidas opened as well in February 2007 its largest store in the world in a wonderful old, classy building. Nike has done the same on the south side of this famous avenue by opening its largest European concept store known as "Nike Paris".
Every year on Bastille Day, the largest military parade in Europe passes down the Champs-Élysées, reviewed by the President of the Republic (see our multimedia content on the parade).
Every year from end of November to end of December, the 'Champs-Elysees' Committee contribute for the Holidays seasons lighting of the Champs-Elysees.
The Champs-Elysées is also the traditional end of the last stage of the Tour de France.
Huge and spontaneous gatherings occasionally take place on the Champs-Élysées in celebration of popular events, such as New Year's Eve, or when France won the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
Les Champs-Élysées sont situés dans le 8e arrondissement de Paris, au nord-ouest de la ville. Ils commencent à la place de la Concorde, où se dresse l'Obélisque, et s'étendent sur 1910 mètres, d'est en ouest, sur terrain plat dans la première moitié, puis en montée jusqu'à la place Charles-de-Gaulle (ancienne place de l'Étoile, au sommet de la butte de Chaillot), au centre de laquelle se trouve l'arc de triomphe de l'Étoile. Sa largeur est de soixante-dix mètres.
Son tracé rectiligne offre une longue perspective née du palais du Louvre, dans laquelle s'alignent la statue équestre de Louis XIV dans la cour Napoléon du Louvre, l'arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, le jardin des Tuileries, l'Obélisque, l'arc de Triomphe, et plus loin à l'ouest, en-dehors de Paris, l'arche de la Défense. Il s'agit de l'axe historique de l'ouest parisien.
C'est un des principaux lieux touristiques de Paris.

France (English i/ˈfræns/ franss or /ˈfrɑːns/ frahnss; French: [fʁɑ̃s] ( listen)), officially the French Republic (French: République française French pronunciation: [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a unitary semi-presidential republic located mostly in Western Europe,[note 12] with several overseas regions and territories. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. From its shape, it is often referred to in French as l'Hexagone ("The Hexagon"). France is the largest country in Western Europe and the third-largest in Europe as a whole. It possesses the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world. France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military, and political influence in Europe and around the world.[6] France has its main ideals expressed in the 18th-century Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. From the 17th to the early 20th century, France built the second-largest colonial empire of the time, ruling large portions of first North America and India and then Northwest and Central Africa; Madagascar; Indochina and southeast China; and many Caribbean and Pacific Islands. France is a developed country,[7] possessing the world's fifth-largest and Europe's second-largest economy by nominal GDP. It is also the world's ninth-largest by GDP at purchasing power parity.[8] France is the wealthiest nation in Europe -- and the fourth-wealthiest in the world -- in aggregate household wealth.[9] French citizens enjoy a high standard of living, high public education level, and one of the world's longest life expectancies.[10] France has been listed as the world's "best overall health care" provider by the World Health Organization.[11] It is the most-visited country in the world, receiving 79.5 million foreign tourists annually.[12] France has the world's fifth-largest nominal military budget,[13] as well as (in terms of personnel) the largest military in the EU,[citation needed] the third-largest deployable force in NATO, and the 26th-largest military in the world. France also possesses the third-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world[14] -- with around 300 active warheads as of 25 May 2010 -- and the world's second-largest diplomatic corps (behind the United States).[15] France is a founding member of the United Nations, one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and a member of the Francophonie, the G8, G20, NATO, OECD, WTO, and the Latin Union. It is also a founding and leading member state of the European Union and the largest EU state by area.[16] In 2011, France was listed 20th on the Human Development Index and, in 2010, 24th on the Corruption Perceptions Index.

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French: Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen), passed by France's National Constituent Assembly in August 1789, is a fundamental document of the French Revolution and in the history of human rights. It defines the individual and collective rights of all the estates of the realm as universal.

It became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by law. It is included in the preamble of the constitutions of both the Fourth French R... -

History: The Roman Empire Documentary
Beginning in the eighth century B.C., Ancient Rome grew from a small town on central Italy’s Tiber River into an empire that at its peak encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. Among the many legacies of Roman dominance are the widespread use of the Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian) derived from Latin, the modern Western alphabet and calendar and the emergence of Christianity as a major world religion. After 450 years as a republic, Rome became an empire in the wake of Julius Caesar’s rise and fall in the first century B.C. The long and triumphant reign of its first emperor, Augustus, began a golden age of peace and prosperity; by contrast, the empire’s decline and fall by the ... -
The Host and The Parasite: How Israel's Fifth Column Consumed America
The U.S. republic founded in 1776 bears no resemblance to the anti-democratic police state that has declared war on its citizens, and provokes needless wars in the Middle East at the behest of Israel. At the center of it all is the parasitic control of the Israel Lobby on the U.S. government. The Host and The Parasite shows how the Lobby, evangelical Christians and neo-cons rode to power in the 1980s and proceeded to turn the United States into Israel's willing executioner. Greg Felton is an investigative journalist specializing in the Middle East, Canadian politics, the media and language. He holds a Master's Degree in political science from the University of British Columbia and speaks French, Russian and Mandarin.

Fifty Years Without JFK: Rethinking Global Diplomacy
Europe: Panel 1
"France in John F. Kennedy's world view"
Sean J. McLaughlin (University of Wisconsin-Whitewater)
No member of the western alliance caused John F. Kennedy more consternation than Charles de Gaulle's France. Kennedy and de Gaulle disagreed over nearly every major international issue of importance during the early 1960s, but the fundamental question of why Kennedy and de Gaulle failed to connect on a personal or professional level has not been adequately unanswered.
Traditional explanations rooted in de Gaulle's cantankerousness fail to acknowledge the cordial nature of their face-to-face encounter in Paris at the end of May 1961 and a mutual desire for cooperation at the outset of the Kennedy presidency. This paper will argue that Franco-American relations were so troubled during the Kennedy years less due to specific policy disputes than to Kennedy's refusal to accept France as a great power. It examines the journals and records of a young John F. Kennedy, beginning with the journal he kept during his 1937 summer vacation in Europe through to his Senate papers in the 1950s, in order to determine how and why he formed the particular racial hierarchy of Europeans he brought to the White House in 1961. These documents reveal that Kennedy perceived Britons, and to a lesser extent Germans, as robust, dependable, and masculine allies, while he contrasted the French as erratic, jealous, and unreliable.
As Kennedy's presidency began, he held de Gaulle—a genuine war hero who took bold measures to end the Algerian conflict that had so badly destabilized his country—in considerable esteem. This was a senior statesmen with whom Kennedy desired a running dialogue on world affairs. The tone of Kennedy's first letter to de Gaulle of 2 February 1961 on the Congo crisis is that of a confident young man seeking and expecting the approval of an older, more experienced counterpart. De Gaulle's prompt response expressed an appreciation for Kennedy's effort and a willingness to put himself at the American president's disposal. Nevertheless, de Gaulle dampened Kennedy's enthusiasm by arguing that any political solution brokered by the United Nations would offer a Trojan horse for the Soviet Union and its allies and that the administrative role Kennedy envisioned likely contravened the United Nations Charter by interfering so greatly in sovereign affairs of state.
Stung by de Gaulle's sudden, total rejection of a plan he had crafted with great care and attention, Kennedy turned over responsibility for future correspondence with de Gaulle to his aides, most of whom carried anti-French or anti-de Gaulle prejudices. The personal and emotional element of Kennedy's first letter gave way to officialese and detached correctness in all subsequent communications. I argue it was at this point that Kennedy retreated back into all of his familiar old stereotypes of pre-Fifth Republic France, enabling him to later justify subsequent actions that effectively marginalized Paris. In future internal Kennedy administration correspondence, France was repeatedly feminized as NATO's "weak sister" and contrasted against masculine America, while de Gaulle was framed alternately as yesterday's man or as a typically Gallic egoist who failed to understand that his country's best days were long behind it.

17 former politicians and key aides of Chun's (including Chang Se-dong, his former chief-of-staff; Hur Hwa-pyong, lawmaker; Jeong Ho-yong, former Army Chief of Staff; and Lee Hak-bong, former vice director of the Korea Central Intelligence Agency) attempted to halt the drama in pre-production, and failing that, sent a statement to the producers with claims of historical distortion and threatened legal action unless the script was changed. The production refused, with producer-director Im Tae-woo saying that they tried their best to maintain objectivity by basing their script on historical records and information that they collected for three years, such as Supreme Court rulings, and other hearing documents and news reports at that time.

Germany Men Take Relay, Matching the Women
Dominating Win
The German men's team of Erik Lesser, Daniel Boehm, Arnd Peiffer and Simon Schempp matched their female counterparts who won the women's relay yesterday, by winning the Gold medal today in 1:13:49.5 with three spares. Norway won the Silver medal with six spares, 15.4 seconds back. France won the Bronze medal, with four spares, 33.6 seconds back. Fourth place went to Russia with Austria in fifth and Czech Republic in sixth.
With the temperature at +6 C on sunny windless day, the big crowds of fans, many coming from Russia, showed up for this late afternoon competition.
Great Battle
Simon Fourcade, Ole Einar Björndalen and Erik Lesser had a great battle on the first leg; all three shot clean with 10 shots, immediately taking charge of the competition. By the first exchange, Björndalen had Norway 1.3 seconds ahead of France with Germany at 6.3 seconds back.
Beatrix and Hofer
Leg two with Beatrix for France, Tarjei Boe, Daniel Boehm and Lukas Hofer was equally as competitive. Boehm and Boe cleaned prone while Beatrix used a spare. In standing, the French musician/biathlete used a spare but left his rivals on the shooting range, with Hofer just behind. By the exchange, it remained Beatrix with Hofer, even after losing a ski pole .7 seconds back and Boehm 3.1 seconds back. Boe tagged his brother Johannes 11.2 seconds back.
Peiffer in Control
Arnd Peiffer cleaned prone faster than the sprint World Champion Boe to give Germany a two-second lead, with Michal Slesingr matching and now up to the third spot, and France 15.8 seconds back in sixth. Peiffer was just as good in standing; cleaning quick and fast, getting a 13.5 second lead on Slesingr who used two spares, and Boe who also used two. Fillon Maillet now had France back up to the number 4 spot as they headed to the final exchange.
Simon Schempp left the stadium with a 15.3 second lead that Peiffer gave him, with Emil Hegle Svendsen and Ondrej Moravec together in second and third. Slovenia after brilliant leg by Jakov Fak was 4th, 39 seconds back, just .2 seconds ahead of Martin Fourcade. Schempp cleaned prone with ease as did Svendsen, but the gap was still 13.3 seconds. Fourcade used a spare but moved ahead of Moravec who used all three.
Schempp used a spare but Svendsen also did and they left with the same gap, Schempp ahead by 15 seconds. Fourcade cleaned, but was 25 seconds back with Russia in fourth, another 15 seconds back. Nothing changed in the final 2.5K loop.
Focused
Second leg Boehm said, "We were really focused and I could feel the tension before the race, but now we are sitting here and it was OK." Peiffer added, "I was more nervous than the individual races. My tactic today was to do well at standing shooting but it was not so special!
Self-confidence
Schempp, after a hard Championships so far, but sealed the Gold today commented, "I got some self-confidence in the individual and only in the last 200 meters was I able to enjoy the race today. Now I am happy and proud to be a part of this team."
Congrats to Germany
Svendsen said he was confident he would hold second place in the final loop. "I just tried to ski fast and did not look back; congrats to Germany they were better than us today."
Team
Simon Fourcade who set up the French effort in the first leg emphasized the team aspect. "Our whole team was determined to get a medal; it was not about me in the relay but the team." Martin added, "We are really satisfied with this third place."

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French: Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen), passed by France's National Constituent Assembly in August 1789, is a fundamental document of the French Revolution and in the history of human rights. It defines the individual and collective rights of all the estates of the realm as universal. The Declaration was directly influenced by Thomas Jefferson working with General LaFayette, who introduced it. Influenced also by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. It became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by law. It is included in the preamble of the constitutions of both the Fourth French Republic (1946) and Fifth Republic (1958) and is still current. Inspired in part by the American Revolution, the Declaration was a core statement of the values of the French revolution and had a major impact on the development of liberty and democracy in Europe and worldwide.

BMW IBU Biathlon World Championships 2016 - Double Mixed Relay (4x6km + 4x7,5km)
03.03.2016, Oslo
Martin and France Take Mixed Relay Gold
Last Loop with Schempp
The French team of Anais Bescond, Marie Dorin Habert, Quentin Fillon Maillet and Martin Fourcade won the mixed relay Gold medal with eight spares in 1:14:01. Germany won the Silver medal, with seven spares, 4.3 seconds back, while the home team of Norway won the Bronze medal, with 10 spares, 14.4 seconds back.
Fourth went to Ukraine, with 9 spares, 29.8 seconds back while Austria with just three spares, 1:07.1 back and defending champion Czech Republic in sixth, 1;23.3 back.
Snow and Fog, then Clear
An overnight storm dumped about 25 cm of snow at the Holmenkollen. Once that stopped, the fog rolled in for much of the day. However, by the time 25 teams headed out of the stadium, the fog was gone, leaving just cloudy skies for this first competition at the 2016 IBU World Championships.
Norway
Fitting of a home WCH, Norway started off with a big bang from Marte Olsbu, who used just a single spare and led until the final loop above the shooting range when Susan Dunklee of the USA powered past her. Ukraine tagged in third and Germany in fourth, 16 seconds back. The second leg saw Tiril Eckhoff using four spares, falling back and then finally tagging in first position. Soukalova bought the Czech team from 16th at the first exchange to fifth as Michal Slesingr took the tag. Soukalova shot clean and skied her way back into contention. At one point, it seemed that France's Marie Dorin Habert would win the second leg, but a fall knocked her back; she had to expend a lot of energy to get back in contention. She tagged in third, just behind Germany's Franziska Hildebrand. As the men took over, Norway, Germany, France and Ukraine were separated by a mere .4 seconds.
Ukraine in Charge
Johannes used a spare round in prone and slipped out of first as Ukraine's Sergey Semenov and Germany Arnd Peiffer moved to the top of the pack. Johannes moved even with the other two as they came to the standing stage. Peiffer cleaned in five as did Semenov; Johannes needed a spare. The top four remained the same, heading to the final exchange. At the final exchange, it was Ukraine, France, Germany and Norway, all within one second.
Martin Pulls Away
The anchor leg would be a barn-burner, with Simon Schempp, Martin Fourcade, Dmytro Pidruchnyi and Tarjei all battling for medals. The Ukrainian cleaned and led out of prone, followed by Fourcade and Schempp. Tarjei used three spares and fell 18 seconds back. Going to standing, Fourcade took over, followed by Schempp, with Ukraine falling back. Fourcade and Schempp used a spare round but Tarjei rapid-fired and hit all five shots, but was still 8 seconds back. It was the same battle seen all year, Fourcade and Schempp, with Fourcade holding a 1-meter lead over the last loop. In the stadium, Fourcade pulled away for the win, with Schempp slipping back and Tarjei coming to the finish in third.
Smiles for French Team
The smiles never left the faces of the French tem after the competition. Bescond beamed as she said, "It is amazing to start the Championships with a Gold medal."
Fourcade commented, "We knew we were one of the favorites today, but you never know...This was a very emotional win for us today; our first team win since 2009."
Dorin Habert admitted that her fall was "just a mistake, nothing else."
Stressed Preuss
Franziska Preuss who led off for Germany said, "I was very nervous and stressed today. In prone, I tried to shoot fast and used spares; after that I focused on myself and it was okay.
Worked Hard
Schempp admitted that he wanted to go after Fourcade, but "Martin shot faster in standing and then I had to work hard to close the gap. That took away my power I needed to try for the Gold."
Tarjei "Not Racing Anymore"
Tarjei said he was, "90% happy with the Bronze medal, and will get the other 10% next week!" Then asked if he would admit that Fourcade seemed unbeatable here, Tarjei laughed and said, "He is so unbeatable that I will not race any more at these Championships!" Fourcade replied, with a big smile, "Good!"

BMW IBU Biathlon World Championships 2016 - Double Mixed Relay (4x6km + 4x7,5km)
03.03.2016, Oslo
Martin and France Take Mixed Relay Gold
Last Loop with Schempp
The French team of Anais Bescond, Marie Dorin Habert, Quentin Fillon Maillet and Martin Fourcade won the mixed relay Gold medal with eight spares in 1:14:01. Germany won the Silver medal, with seven spares, 4.3 seconds back, while the home team of Norway won the Bronze medal, with 10 spares, 14.4 seconds back.
Fourth went to Ukraine, with 9 spares, 29.8 seconds back while Austria with just three spares, 1:07.1 back and defending champion Czech Republic in sixth, 1;23.3 back.
Snow and Fog, then Clear
An overnight storm dumped about 25 cm of snow at the Holmenkollen. Once that stopped, the fog rolled in for much of the day. However, by the time 25 teams headed out of the stadium, the fog was gone, leaving just cloudy skies for this first competition at the 2016 IBU World Championships.
Norway
Fitting of a home WCH, Norway started off with a big bang from Marte Olsbu, who used just a single spare and led until the final loop above the shooting range when Susan Dunklee of the USA powered past her. Ukraine tagged in third and Germany in fourth, 16 seconds back. The second leg saw Tiril Eckhoff using four spares, falling back and then finally tagging in first position. Soukalova bought the Czech team from 16th at the first exchange to fifth as Michal Slesingr took the tag. Soukalova shot clean and skied her way back into contention. At one point, it seemed that France's Marie Dorin Habert would win the second leg, but a fall knocked her back; she had to expend a lot of energy to get back in contention. She tagged in third, just behind Germany's Franziska Hildebrand. As the men took over, Norway, Germany, France and Ukraine were separated by a mere .4 seconds.
Ukraine in Charge
Johannes used a spare round in prone and slipped out of first as Ukraine's Sergey Semenov and Germany Arnd Peiffer moved to the top of the pack. Johannes moved even with the other two as they came to the standing stage. Peiffer cleaned in five as did Semenov; Johannes needed a spare. The top four remained the same, heading to the final exchange. At the final exchange, it was Ukraine, France, Germany and Norway, all within one second.
Martin Pulls Away
The anchor leg would be a barn-burner, with Simon Schempp, Martin Fourcade, Dmytro Pidruchnyi and Tarjei all battling for medals. The Ukrainian cleaned and led out of prone, followed by Fourcade and Schempp. Tarjei used three spares and fell 18 seconds back. Going to standing, Fourcade took over, followed by Schempp, with Ukraine falling back. Fourcade and Schempp used a spare round but Tarjei rapid-fired and hit all five shots, but was still 8 seconds back. It was the same battle seen all year, Fourcade and Schempp, with Fourcade holding a 1-meter lead over the last loop. In the stadium, Fourcade pulled away for the win, with Schempp slipping back and Tarjei coming to the finish in third.
Smiles for French Team
The smiles never left the faces of the French tem after the competition. Bescond beamed as she said, "It is amazing to start the Championships with a Gold medal."
Fourcade commented, "We knew we were one of the favorites today, but you never know...This was a very emotional win for us today; our first team win since 2009."
Dorin Habert admitted that her fall was "just a mistake, nothing else."
Stressed Preuss
Franziska Preuss who led off for Germany said, "I was very nervous and stressed today. In prone, I tried to shoot fast and used spares; after that I focused on myself and it was okay.

Strain Hunters Jamaica Expedition - Full Documentary - #historymovies
Jamaica is an island country positioned in the Caribbean Sea, comprising the third-largest island of the Greater Antilles. The island, 10,990 square kilometres (4,240 sq mi) in area, lies regarding 145 kilometres (90 mi) southern of Cuba, and also 191 kilometres (119 mi) west of Hispaniola, the island having the nation-states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Jamaica is the fifth-largest island country in the Caribbean.
Previously occupied by the indigenous Arawak as well as Taíno peoples, the island came under Spanish rule adhering to the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1494. Named Santiago, it stayed a property of Spain up until 1655, when England (later Wonderful Britain) controlled the island and also relabelled it Jamaica. Under British regulation, Jamaica ended up being a top sugar exporter, with its hacienda economic situation highly depending on servants imported from Africa, complied with later on by Chinese as well as Indian indentured labor. All slaves were totally liberated in 1838, with freedom from the United Kingdom achieved on 6 August 1962.

Women’s Relay Victory for France
Chevalier and Dorin Habert Dominate
The French team of Justine Braisaz, Anais Bescond, Anais chevalier and Marie Dorin Habert won the women's relay today with eight spare rounds in 1:0753.5. The Czech Republic finished second with two penalties and seven spares, 17.2 seconds back. Third went to Russia with ten spares, 21.1 seconds back.
Italy finished fourth after a desperate attempt to catch Russia I the closing meters, 21.7 seconds back. Fifth went to Norway, 47.1 seconds back while surprising Sweden finished sixth, 50.5 seconds back.
Sunny Day; Packed Stadium
Another spectacular sunny day with a packed stadium for the relays; a typical first leg resulted in some conservative shooting and a lot of clean prone stages. At the first exchange, Switzerland's Selina Gasparin was in the lead, continuing her hot streak here in Antholz. Poland and Czech Republic followed. The second leg shook things up with Ukraine's Valja Semerenko showing some of her talent by taking the lead despite using two spare rounds. Anais Bescond moved her team up to second but 7 seconds back at the exchange, followed by Belarus. The Czech team fell back as they picked up two standing penalties.
Chevalier Takes Lead
France's Anais Chevalier shot quickly in prone to take the lead after the next prone stage as Ukraine needed a couple of spares to clean. Russian was now on the move with pursuit winner Ekaterina Yurlova quickly cleaning prone to bring them up to 5th position. Chevalier lengthened her lead with five quick shots, a single miss, a spare round and then out on the tracks, now 15 seconds ahead. Yurlova continued her move as she was up to third. Soukalova moved the Czech team back into contention, now 45 seconds back in sixth.
Dorin Habert to Victory
Marie Dorin Habert took the final exchange with a 10 second gap on Russia and Vitkova took over for the Czech team in fourth, but only 20 second out of first. She shot quickly in prone, extending her lead to 15 seconds over Podchufarova. Eckhoff took advantage of Vitkova's spare rounds to move into the third spot, heading to standing. With not a bit of wind in the stadium, the double World Champion cleaned to seal the victory for France. Podchufarova used a spare round to leave just 5 seconds ahead of Vitkova with Wierer chasing another 15 seconds back. Podchufarova held off Wierer to maintain third place.
Wierer admitted her disappointment, "I really wanted to get another podium. I was so far back and I pushed so hard, but was very tired and could not do it."
WCH Team
The win for France was their first of the season; their team is the one they hope to field at the IBU WCH. Dorin Habert said, "I think it is good for us to try our WCH team...All of the team did a very good job; not having any mistakes is the key to winning and it makes it easier for the last leg...it is great to finish with a win before we go to the USA."
Focused on Third
Podchufarova held off Wierer for third place. "I was only focused on finishing third. I had no idea she was so close until I was in the stadium and saw it on the video wall."

Sarkozy's burqa ban re-wrote the rule book for assimilation politics in Europe. But with elections on the way and the current halal meat controversy, has his hard line on Islam simply fueled religious tensions?
In the previous elections Sarkozy lost serious ground to the far right and many saw the burqa ban as an attempt to salvage those votes. Yet the ban also had a lot of support from many high profile Muslims. The Imam of Drancy argued, "the burka is an Afghani phenomenon. Afghan equals Taliban. Taliban equals terrorism." With halal meat the hot topic of next month's election campaigns, has Sarkozy been too dangerously divisive towards France's Islamic population?

Beginning in the eighth century B.C., Ancient Rome grew from a small town on central Italy’s Tiber River into an empire that at its peak encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. Among the many legacies of Roman dominance are the widespread use of the Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian) derived from Latin, the modern Western alphabet and calendar and the emergence of Christianity as a major world religion. After 450 years as a republic, Rome became an empire in the wake of Julius Caesar’s rise and fall in the first century B.C. The long and triumphant reign of its first emperor, Augustus, began a golden age of peace and prosperity; by contrast, the empire’s decline and fall by the fifth century A.D. was one of the most dramatic implosions in the history of human civilization.

The U.S. republic founded in 1776 bears no resemblance to the anti-democratic police state that has declared war on its citizens, and provokes needless wars in the Middle East at the behest of Israel. At the center of it all is the parasitic control of the Israel Lobby on the U.S. government. The Host and The Parasite shows how the Lobby, evangelical Christians and neo-cons rode to power in the 1980s and proceeded to turn the United States into Israel's willing executioner.
