French Historical and Cultural Studies World Wars: History, Literature, and Impact European Political History Analysis

Abstract

Abstract The Third Republic withstood four years of murderous combat against invading German armies during the Great War, yet crumbled within six weeks of another incursion in 1940. The triumph of republican France in 1918 contrasts with parliament’s abject surrender to Marshal Pétain in 1940. Faced with these paradoxes, some historians have emphasized the weakness of democratic culture, others, its strength.
