neg: Detroit Automobile Company The Detroit Automobile Company ( DAC ) was an early American automobile manufacturer founded on August 5 , 1899 , in Detroit , Michigan . It was the first venture of its kind in Detroit . Automotive mechanic Henry Ford attracted the financial backing of three investors ; Detroit Mayor William Maybury , William H. Murphy , and Senator Thomas W. Palmer . As with many early car ventures , the company floundered and was dissolved in January 1901 . Twenty vehicles were built and $ 86,000 ( $ 2.11 million in 2007 ) of investment was lost .

neg: Hughes-Irons Motor Company The Hughes-Irons Motor Company is a historic building located in Council Bluffs , Iowa , United States . Floyd Hughes and George Irons established an automobile sales and service business selling Ford cars and tractors . They built the eastern six bay section of this building in 1917 . The two-story brick structure exhibits elements of the Mission Revival style . Irons left the partnership three years later and was replaced by Parmer . Hughes-Parmer added the four western bays in 1923 , before the business split into two different companies . Parmer maintained the Ford dealership in the original building and Hughes opened a Chevrolet dealership in the addition . Parmer was replaced by the Atlantic Auto Company in 1930 . They were the first in a long line of automobile repair shops and dealerships that occupied the original section of the building . Hughes remained in the addition until 1979 , although they expanded into the neighboring building to the west in 1944 . Restoration of the building began in 2008 , reversing the alterations done to its main facade . The local chamber of commerce occupies the main floor , and the second floor was converted into apartments . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 .

neg: Lincoln Continental Mark V The Continental Mark V is a personal luxury coupe that was marketed by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company from the 1977 to 1979 model years in North America . Following the success of the Continental Mark IV , the Mark V was derived from the same chassis architecture ( shared with the Ford Thunderbird ) with an extensive update to the exterior and interior . The sharply-creased body introduced an exterior design theme used on many Lincoln vehicles throughout the 1980s .   For 1980 , the Continental Mark V was replaced by the Continental Mark VI . Based on the Ford Panther platform introduced for the 1979 model year , the downsized Mark VI saw significant reductions in its exterior dimensions in the interest of fuel economy .   All Continental Mark Vs were assembled at the now-closed Wixom Assembly Plant in Wixom , Michigan , alongside the standard Lincoln Continental and Continental Town Car and Town Coupe .

neg: Anderson (automobile) The Anderson was a United States automobile ; considered the most successful automobile ever built in the Southern United States , it was manufactured by a carriage works from 1916 to 1925 in Rock Hill , South Carolina . Started by John Gary Anderson , the company sold cars through a national dealer network . The company used Continental 7R flat six engines in its vehicles , which were noted for their attractive body styles and color combinations . Andersons were the first cars to be built with headlight foot dimmers and powered convertible tops . Production reached nearly 2,000 units in 1923 and in all 7,000 vehicles were produced during the life of the company .   There are a number of reasons why the Anderson Automobile Co. faltered . According to Edward Lee , who wrote the 2007 book John Gary Anderson and His Maverick Motor Company : The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford 's Rock Hill Rival , the vehicle suffered from a defective engine . Anderson bought most of the components from other manufacturers . During the later years of production , Anderson used a Continental engine with an aluminum head and it warped at high temperatures .   Price was also an issue , Lee believes . Model T Fords were selling for as low as $ 290 the 1920s making the cars affordable to the majority of Americans . Andersons cost about $ 1,650 for a five-passenger touring car and $ 2,550 for a sedan . Anderson 's slogan was a prophetic `` A little Higher in Price but made in Dixie . ''   In addition , by the early 1920s , the economy of South Carolina and other Southern states was already in the tank , well ahead of the Great Depression , because of plummeting cotton prices following World War I.   Today , there are just 13 remaining examples of Anderson vehicles in existence . Of those Anderson cars known to exist , four are owned by the Anderson family , one is at the S.C. State Museum in Columbia and one is in the possession of the Museum of York County , where Rock Hill is located .

The automotive industry designs , develops , manufactures , markets , and sells motor vehicles , and is one of the Earth 's most important economic sectors by revenue .   The first practical automobile with a petrol engine was built by Karl Benz in 1885 in Mannheim , Germany .   1983 saw a great number of new model launches in Europe , with the popularity of the hatchback bodystyle continuing to gather pace and now being the most popular bodystyle in many countries .

neg: Chicken tax The chicken tax is a 25 % tariff on potato starch , dextrin , brandy , and light trucks imposed in 1963 by the United States under President Lyndon B. Johnson in response to tariffs placed by France and West Germany on importation of U.S. chicken . The period from 1961 -- 1964 of tensions and negotiations surrounding the issue was known as the `` Chicken War , '' taking place at the height of Cold War politics .   Eventually , the tariffs on potato starch , dextrin , and brandy were lifted , but over the next 48 years the light truck tax ossified , remaining in place to protect U.S. domestic automakers from foreign competition ( e.g. , from Japan and Thailand ) . Though concern remains about its repeal , a 2003 Cato Institute study called the tariff `` a policy in search of a rationale . ''   As an unintended consequence several importers of light trucks have circumvented the tariff via loopholes -- including Ford ( ostensibly a company that the tax was designed to protect ) , which imported the Transit Connect light trucks as `` passenger vehicles '' to the U.S. from Turkey and immediately strips and shreds portions of their interiors , such as installed rear seats , in a warehouse outside Baltimore -- and Mercedes , which imported complete vans built in Germany , `` disassembled them and shipped the pieces to South Carolina , where American workers put them back together in a small kit assembly building . '' The resulting vehicles emerge as locally manufactured , free from the tariff .

neg: 1949 Ford The 1949 Ford was an American automobile produced by Ford . It was the first all-new automobile design introduced by the Big Three after World War II , civilian production having been suspended during the war , and the 1946-1948 models from Ford , GM , and Chrysler being updates of their pre-war models . Popularly called the `` Shoebox Ford '' for its slab-sided , `` ponton '' design , the 1949 Ford is credited both with saving Ford and ushering in modern streamlined car design with changes such as integrated fenders and more . The design would continue through the 1951 model year .   After sticking with its well-received previous model through model year 1948 , Ford completely redesigned its namesake car for the year 1949 . Save for its drive-train , this was an all-new car in every way , with a modern ladder frame now supporting a coil spring independent suspension in front and longitudinal semi-elliptical springs in back . The engine was moved forward to make more room in the passenger compartment and the antiquated `` torque tube '' was replaced by a modern drive shaft . Ford 's popular 226 CID ( 3.7 L ) L-head straight-6 and 239 CID ( 3.9 L ) Flathead V8 remained , now rated at 90 hp ( 67 kW ) and 100 hp ( 75 kW ) , respectively .

neg: Lincoln College (Illinois) Lincoln College ( chartered Lincoln University ) is a private , independent liberal arts college located in Lincoln , Illinois . Lincoln College is a hybrid college offering both two-year and four-year degree programs for its students . Lincoln College was established in 1865 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church , but is now independent and has no formal church affiliation . There were a few sites that were looked at as possibilities , and in December 1864 , the site of Lincoln was selected . Due to the Civil War , the denomination wanted to create a college in the North because the denomination 's other schools were located in the South . At this same time a movement started in the new community of Lincoln to start a college . On February 6 , 1865 , the Illinois General Assembly granted the charter that established the university . President Lincoln was aware the school would be named after him . Lincoln University was the first institution named for Abraham Lincoln and the only one during his lifetime . The groundbreaking for University Hall , the first college building , was held on the birthday of Abraham Lincoln , which was six days after the charter had been granted . By September 1866 , University Hall 's construction was completed . In November 1866 , the college opened its doors to men and women alike . In 1868 , there were three people who received their degrees .

neg: Detroit Assembly Detroit Assembly ( also known as Detroit Cadillac , Cadillac Assembly or Clark Street Assembly ) was a General Motors automobile factory in Detroit , Michigan on Clark Avenue , south of Michigan Avenue ( U.S. Route 12 ) . It began operations in 1921 and Cadillac bodies were supplied by Fleetwood Metal Body in 1921 after Fisher Body assumed operations . It was the second location that built Cadillacs , when Cadillac originally started out as the Detroit Automobile Company , then the Henry Ford Company which was located at the intersection of Cass Street and Amsterdam Avenue .   In 1902 , the Cadillac Motor Company began operations , and began building cars at the all new Clark Street facility in 1921 , where the factory manufactured Cadillac models until December 23 , 1987 , when production of Cadillac 's full-size D-bodies moved to Arlington Assembly in Arlington , Texas , while production of downsized FWD DeVille/Fleetwood/Seville models were relocated to Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly and Orion Assembly by 1985 . It is approximately 2 miles southeast of the original Lincoln factory located at 6200 West Warren Avenue .   All Cadillac vehicles were built only at this facility , with production of popular selling models later added to Linden , New Jersey , South Gate , California or Arlington , Texas in `` knock down kits '' starting in the 1930s to meet demand . The bodies were built by Fisher at Fleetwood Plant # 18 at 261 W End St , and transferred by rail to Clark Street for final assembly .   From 1984 to 1987 , the plant also built the Oldsmobile 88 and Custom Cruiser , and the Chevrolet Caprice and Impala .   Detroit Assembly used the VIN codes `` Q '' and `` 9 . ''   The site of the plant was redeveloped into the 88-acre Clark Street Technology Park in 1997 by General Motors and three other partners . It is now the location for Inland Waters Pollution Control .

neg: 1950s American automobile culture 1950s American automobile culture has had an enduring influence on the culture of the United States , as reflected in popular music , major trends from the 1950s and mainstream acceptance of the `` hot rod '' culture . The American manufacturing economy switched from producing war-related items to consumer goods at the end of World War II , and by the end of the 1950s , one in six working Americans were employed either directly or indirectly in the automotive industry . The United States became the world 's largest manufacturer of automobiles , and Henry Ford 's goal of 30 years earlier -- that any man with a good job should be able to afford an automobile -- was achieved . A new generation of service businesses focusing on customers with their automobiles sprang up during the decade , including drive-through or drive-in restaurants and more drive-in theaters ( cinemas ) .   The decade began with 25 million registered automobiles on the road , most of which predated World War II and were in poor condition ; no automobiles or parts were produced during the war owing to rationing and restrictions . By 1950 , most factories had made the transition to a consumer-based economy , and more than 8 million cars were produced that year alone . By 1958 , there were more than 67 million cars registered in the United States , more than twice the number at the start of the decade .   As part of the U.S. national defenses , to support military transport , the National Highway System was expanded with Interstate highways , beginning in 1955 , across many parts of the United States . The wider , multi-lane highways allowed traffic to move at faster speeds , with few or no stoplights on the way . The wide-open spaces along the highways became a basis for numerous billboards showing advertisements .   The dawning of the Space Age and Space Race were reflected in contemporary American automotive styling . Large tailfins , flowing designs reminiscent of rockets , and radio antennas that imitated Sputnik 1 were common , owing to the efforts of design pioneers such as Harley Earl .

neg: History of Springfield, Massachusetts The history of Springfield , Massachusetts ( est. 1636 ) springs in large part from its favorable geography , situated on a steep bluff overlooking the Connecticut River 's confluence with three tributaries . It was an ancient Indian crossroad for two major trade routes : Boston-to-Albany and New York City-to-Montreal . Springfield also sits on some of the northeastern United States ' most fertile soil .   Springfield was founded in 1636 as Agawam , the northernmost settlement of the Connecticut Colony . The settlement defected from Connecticut after four years , however , later joining forces with the coastal Massachusetts Bay Colony . The town changed its name to Springfield , and changed the political boundaries among what later became New England States .   Springfield flourished as a trading post and agricultural center until 1675 's King Philip 's War , when a coalition of Indians laid siege to Springfield and later burned it to the ground . Its prosperity waned for the next hundred years but , in 1777 , United States Revolutionary War leaders made it a National Armory to store weapons , and in 1795 it began manufacturing muskets .   Until 1968 , the Armory made small arms . Its first American muskets ( 1794 ) were followed by the famous Springfield rifle and the revolutionary M1 Garand and M14s . The Springfield Armory attracted generations of skilled laborers to the city , making it the United States ' longtime center for precision manufacturing ( comparable to a Silicon Valley of the Industrial Revolution ) . The Armory 's near-capture during Shays Rebellion of 1787 was among the troubles that prompted the U.S. Constitutional Convention later that year .   Innovations in the 19th and 20th centuries include the first American English dictionary ( 1805 , Noah Webster ) , the first use of interchangeable parts and the assembly line in manufacturing ( 1819 , Thomas Blanchard ) , the first American horseless car ( 1825 , again Thomas Blanchard ) , vulcanized rubber ( 1844 , Charles Goodyear ) , the first American gasoline-powered car ( 1893 , Duryea Brothers ) , the first American motorcycle company ( 1901 , `` Indian '' ) , an early commercial radio station ( 1921 , WBZ , and most famously , the world 's third-most-popular sport of basketball ( 1891 , Dr. James Naismith ) .   Throughout the latter half of the 20th century , Springfield endured a protracted decline , accelerated by the decommission of the Springfield Armory in 1969 . Springfield became increasingly like the declining , second tier Northeastern U.S. cities from which it had long been set apart . During the 1980s and 1990s , Springfield developed a new reputation for crime , political corruption , and cronyism . Seeking to overcome its downgrade , the city undertook several large ( but unfinished ) projects , including a $ 1 billion high-speed rail ( New Haven-Hartford-Springfield high-speed rail ) , a proposed $ 1 billion MGM Casino , and others .

neg: Frazer (automobile) The Frazer ( 1946 -- 1951 ) was the flagship line of upper-medium priced American luxury automobiles built by the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation of Willow Run Ypsilanti , Michigan , and was , with Crosley , the first American car with new envelope body and fresh postwar styling .   Named for longtime American automobile executive Joseph W. Frazer who was now president and general manager of Kaiser-Frazer , the Frazer was styled by Howard `` Dutch '' Darrin with some input from other K-F stylists . The new Frazer won the Fashion Academy of New York Gold Medal for design achievement . Production began on May 29 , 1946 and the Frazer made its public debut June 29 , 1946 . There was one basic four-door sedan body shell that was shared with the similar but lower-priced ( by $ 200 to $ 600 ) Kaiser . The Frazer used the Continental Red Seal 226 CID `` Supersonic '' L-head six powerplant which reached 115 hp by the end of Frazer production at the conclusion of the 1951 model year . The luxury line Frazer Manhattan Series F47C was introduced on March 23 , 1947 at a $ 500 premium over the original Frazer Series F-47 , which continued on as the Standard . By 1948 , Frazer sales totaled about 1.5 % of all American cars built .   The dramatically-restyled 1951 Frazer models included a four-door convertible , a hardtop sedan , and the Frazer Vagabond , a unique hatchback sedan . The final Frazers -- which were actually facelifted leftover 1950 models -- were introduced in March 1950 and were an immediate hit with the public . Over 50,000 orders were placed , but at that point Joseph W. Frazer had left the company and K-F management decided to concentrate only on Kaiser production after building 10,214 of the 1951 Frazer , when the supply of leftover 1950 bodies ran out . A trivial , but to car buffs significant , aspect of the Frazer was that its four doors had push-button openers . This feature was shared at the time only by such cars as the Lincoln . Both Henry Kaiser and Joseph Frazer were convinced by evidence that the existing automobile manufacturers centered on Detroit had combined to shut off the supplies of materials and parts necessary to the success of the new automotive company .

neg: Chevrolet Series FA The Chevrolet Series FA ( or Chevrolet FA ) of 1917 -- 1918 is an American vehicle manufactured by Chevrolet . It was a replacement of the Series F ( the successor of the Series H ) which had improvements in engine capacity as well as other features . In this transformation of series , the pre-existing names of the H and F series cars , The Royal Mail and Baby Grand were dropped in favor of the names Roadster and Touring respectively . The FA Series was then replaced by the Chevrolet Series FB in 1919 .

neg: Kline Kar The Kline Kar was an American automobile built first in York , Pennsylvania , ( 1910-1912 ) , and then in Richmond , Virginia , ( 1912-1923 ) . Sometimes the car was just referred to as a Kline .   James A. Kline moved to York to work on a car that at the time was known as the York , but soon became the Pullman . After leaving that company , he partnered with another former employee , Samuel E. Baily , and also with Joseph C. Carrell to form B.C.K. Motor Company . This new firm produced the Kline Kar starting in 1910 , in the building owned by Baily for his carriage company . Almost right away , the 6-cylinder cars were entered in auto races . There were two dirt track race cars called `` Jimmy '' and `` Jimmy , Jr. '' after the chief designer and his son . These race cars brought the company nationwide attention . They also drew the interest of a group of Richmond , Virginia , businessmen . They noted how well the Kline was selling in their state and eventually bought the company and moved it to Virginia . In Richmond , they reorganized as the Kline Motor Car Corporation and built a new factory in which to produce the car . Starting in November 1912 , Klines were produced in Richmond , except for the engines brought in from Bath , New York , where the Kirkham Machine Company built them . This outsourcing was most likely to enable the new firm to enter mass manufacture quickly .   The Kline was a pricey car and was marketed as a quality item . Indeed , the Model 6-50 runabout , which cost $ 2,585 , was advertised as `` one of the classiest roadsters brought out for several seasons ... for a physician or a young man of fastidious taste . '' The car was popular among Washington , DC , government employees and those in the equestrian field , such as jockeys and horse trainers . In 1915 , the firm was in receivership , but it survived and two years later was making almost 500 cars in a single year . It appeared that the firm was now on a stronger footing , but the post-World War I recession again weakened the firm . The Kline now became an assembled car , which did not please James A. Kline much . From 1919 , all Klines rode on a 121 '' wheelbase . Starting in 1920 , a 3672cc Continental engine was offered , increasing to a 3959cc unit in 1923 . Prices at this time ranged from $ 1,865 to $ 2,790 . The company ended in early 1924 , but not before James Kline said of his beloved Kline Kar , `` I would rather see my children dead than prostituted to cheapness and inferior workmanship . ''


query: The French Revolution began after 1792.

pos: French Revolution The French Revolution ( Révolution française -LSB- ʁevɔlysjɔ̃ fʁɑ̃sɛːz -RSB- ) was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799 , and was partially carried forward by Napoleon during the later expansion of the French Empire . The Revolution overthrew the monarchy , established a republic , experienced violent periods of political turmoil , and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon that rapidly brought many of its principles to Western Europe and beyond . Inspired by liberal and radical ideas , the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history , triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies . Through the Revolutionary Wars , it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle East . Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in human history .   The causes of the French Revolution are complex and are still debated among historians . Following the Seven Years ' War and the American Revolutionary War , the French government was deeply in debt and attempted to restore its financial status through unpopular taxation schemes . Years of bad harvests leading up to the Revolution also inflamed popular resentment of the privileges enjoyed by the clergy and the aristocracy . Demands for change were formulated in terms of Enlightenment ideals and contributed to the convocation of the Estates-General in May 1789 . The first year of the Revolution saw members of the Third Estate taking control , the assault on the Bastille in July , the passage of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in August , and a women 's march on Versailles that forced the royal court back to Paris in October . A central event of the first stage , in August 1789 , was the abolition of feudalism and the old rules and privileges left over from the Ancien Régime . The next few years featured political struggles between various liberal assemblies and right-wing supporters of the monarchy intent on thwarting major reforms . The Republic was proclaimed in September 1792 after the French victory at Valmy . In a momentous event that led to international condemnation , Louis XVI was executed in January 1793 .   External threats closely shaped the course of the Revolution . The Revolutionary Wars beginning in 1792 ultimately featured French victories that facilitated the conquest of the Italian Peninsula , the Low Countries and most territories west of the Rhine -- achievements that had eluded previous French governments for centuries . Internally , popular agitation radicalised the Revolution significantly , culminating in the rise of Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins . The dictatorship imposed by the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror , from 1793 until 1794 , established price controls on food and other items , abolished slavery in French colonies abroad , dechristianised society through the creation of a new calendar and the expulsion of religious figures , and secured the borders of the new republic from its enemies . Large numbers of civilians were executed by revolutionary tribunals during the Terror , with estimates ranging from 16,000 to 40,000 . After the Thermidorian Reaction , an executive council known as the Directory assumed control of the French state in 1795 . The rule of the Directory was characterised by suspended elections , debt repudiations , financial instability , persecutions against the Catholic clergy , and significant military conquests abroad . Dogged by charges of corruption , the Directory collapsed in a coup led by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 . Napoleon , who became the hero of the Revolution through his popular military campaigns , went on to establish the Consulate and later the First Empire , setting the stage for a wider array of global conflicts in the Napoleonic Wars .   The modern era has unfolded in the shadow of the French Revolution . Almost all future revolutionary movements looked back to the Revolution as their predecessor . Its central phrases and cultural symbols , such as La Marseillaise and Liberté , égalité , fraternité , became the clarion call for other major upheavals in modern history , including the Russian Revolution over a century later .   The values and institutions of the Revolution dominate French politics to this day . The Revolution resulted in the suppression of the feudal system , the emancipation of the individual , the greater division of landed property , the abolition of the privileges of noble birth and the establishment of equality . The French Revolution differed from other revolutions in being not merely national , for it aimed at benefiting all humanity .   Globally , the Revolution accelerated the rise of republics and democracies . It became the focal point for the development of all modern political ideologies , leading to the spread of liberalism , radicalism , nationalism , socialism , feminism , and secularism , among many others . The Revolution also witnessed the birth of total war by organising the resources of France and the lives of its citizens towards the objective of military conquest . Some of its central documents , like the Declaration of the Rights of Man , expanded the arena of human rights to include women and slaves , leading to movements for abolitionism and universal suffrage in the next century .

neg: History of Quebec Quebec has played a special role in French history ; the modern province occupies much of the land where French settlers founded the colony of Canada ( New France ) in the 17th and 18th centuries . The population is predominantly French-speaking and Roman Catholic , with a large Anglophone minority , augmented in recent years by immigrants from Asia . The political alienation of the Francophones from the Anglophones has been a persistent theme since the late 19th century . Tensions were especially high during the First World War . Historically , British merchants and financiers controlled the economy , and dominated Montreal . The Catholic Church , in close cooperation with the landowners , led a highly traditional social structure in rural and small town Quebec . Much of that changed during the Quiet Revolution of the 1980s . Quebec 's separatists , calling for an independent nation , gained strength , but were narrowly defeated in two referenda . Quebec imposed increasingly stringent laws favouring the French language ; many Anglophones left , as did many of the national and international corporations that had been based in Montreal .

neg: Demographics of France The demography of France is monitored by the Institut national d'études démographiques ( INED ) and the Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques ( INSEE ) . As of the 1 January 2017 , almost 67 million people lived in the French Republic ( 66,991,000 ) , including all the five overseas departments ( 2,132,000 ) , but excluding the overseas collectivities and territories ( 604,000 ) . 64,859,000 of these lived in Metropolitan France , the part of France located in Europe .   In March 2017 the population of France officially reached the 67 million mark . The 66 million mark was reached in the beginning of 2014 .   Between the years 2010 and 2017 the population of France grew from 64,613 million to 66,991 million or with about 2,4 million people for a span of 7 years , making France one of the fastest growing countries in Europe . The population of France is growing with 1 million people every 3 years . For an average annual growth of 340,000 people , or a grow rate of +0,6 % .   France was historically Europe 's most populous nation . During the Middle Ages , more than one quarter of Europe 's total population was French ; by the 17th century , this had decreased slightly to one fifth . By the beginning of the 20th century , other European nations , such as Germany and Russia , had caught up with and overtaken it . However , the country 's population sharply increased with the baby boom following World War II .   According to INSEE , since 2004 , 200,000 immigrants entered annually into the country . One out of two was born in Europe and one in three in Africa . Between 2009 and 2012 , the number of Europeans entering France increased sharply ( + 12 % per year on average ) .   The national birth rate , after dropping for a time , began to rebound in the 1990s and currently the country 's fertility rate is close to the replacement level . According to a 2006 INSEE study , `` The natural increase is close to 300,000 people , a level that has not been reached in more than thirty years . ''   Among the 802,000 newborns in metropolitan France in 2010 , 80.1 % had two French parents , 13.3 % had one French parent , and 6.6 % had two non-French parents . For the same year , 27.3 % of newborns in metropolitan France had at least one foreign-born parent and 23.9 % had at least one parent born outside of Europe ( parents born in overseas territories are considered as born in France ) . Between 2006 and 2008 , about 40 % of newborns in France had one foreign-born grandparent ( 11 % born in another European country , 16 % born in the Maghreb and 12 % born in another region of the world ) .   Racial and ethnic censuses have been banned by the French government since 1978 , since the term `` race '' in France invokes associations with Nazi Germany .

The elections were held during a situation of crisis in the country , as following the Franco-Prussian War , 43 departments were occupied by Prussian forces . As a result , all public meetings were outlawed and Paris was the only city where an election campaign took place .   The electoral law allowed candidates to run in more than one seat at a time . As a result , several candidates were elected in more than one seat , with Adolphe Thiers elected in 86 constituencies . A series of by-elections were subsequently held on 2 July to elect representatives for the 114 vacant seats .   This election saw the victory of monarchists ( Legitimists and Orleanists ) , favourable to peace with the German Empire , with a large majority .

neg: Politics of France The politics of France take place with the framework of a semi-presidential system determined by the French Constitution of the French Fifth Republic . The nation declares itself to be an `` indivisible , secular , democratic , and social Republic '' . The constitution provides for a separation of powers and proclaims France 's `` attachment to the Rights of Man and the principles of national sovereignty as defined by the Declaration of 1789 . ''   The political system of France consists of an executive branch , a legislative branch , and a judicial branch . Executive power is exercised by the President of the Republic and the Government . The Government consists of the Prime Minister and ministers . The Prime Minister is appointed by the President , and is responsible to Parliament . The government , including the Prime Minister , can be revoked by the National Assembly , the lower house of Parliament , through a `` censure motion '' ; this ensures that the Prime Minister is always supported by a majority of the lower house ( which , on most topics , has prominence over the upper house ) .   Parliament comprises the National Assembly and the Senate . It passes statutes and votes on the budget ; it controls the action of the executive through formal questioning on the floor of the houses of Parliament and by establishing commissions of inquiry . The constitutionality of the statutes is checked by the Constitutional Council , members of which are appointed by the President of the Republic , the President of the National Assembly , and the President of the Senate . Former presidents of the Republic also are members of the Council .   The independent judiciary is based upon civil law system which evolved from the Napoleonic codes . It is divided into the judicial branch ( dealing with civil law and criminal law ) and the administrative branch ( dealing with appeals against executive decisions ) , each with their own independent supreme court of appeal : the Court of Cassation for the judicial courts and the Conseil d'Etat for the administrative courts . The French government includes various bodies that check abuses of power and independent agencies .   France is a unitary state . However , its administrative subdivisions -- regions , departments and communes -- have various legal functions , and the national government is prohibited from intruding into their normal operations .   France was a founding member of the European Coal and Steel Community , later the European Union . As such , France has transferred part of its sovereignty to European institutions , as provided by its constitution . The French government therefore has to abide by European treaties , directives and regulations .

neg: Vormärz Vormärz ( -LSB- ˈfoːɐ̯ˌmɛʁts -RSB- ; English : pre-March ) was a period in the history of Germany preceding the 1848 March Revolution in the states of the German Confederation . The beginning of the period is less well-defined : some place the starting point directly after the fall of Napoleon and the establishment of the German Confederation in 1815 ; others , typically those emphasizing the Vormärz as a period of political uprising , place the beginning at the French July Revolution of 1830 .   Internationally known as the Age of Metternich , it was characterized by Austrian and Prussian police states , which practiced censorship on a massive scale in response to revolutionary calls for liberalism . In a cultural sense , the same period is known as Biedermeier as a conclusion of the Romanticist era .

neg: Regions of France France is divided into 18 administrative regions ( région , -LSB- ʁe.ʒjɔ̃ -RSB- ) , including 13 metropolitan regions and 5 overseas regions . The 13 metropolitan regions ( including 12 mainland regions and Corsica ) are each further subdivided into 2 to 13 departments , while the overseas regions consist of only one department each and hence are also referred to as `` overseas departments '' . The current legal concept of region was adopted in 1982 , and in 2016 what had been 27 regions was reduced to 18 .

neg: Echoes of the Marseillaise Echoes of the Marseillaise : Two Centuries Look Back on the French Revolution is a book by Eric Hobsbawm , first published in 1990 by Verso Books . It was written just after the bicentenary of the French Revolution which was accompanied by a large outpouring of work and theories on it ( a fact that was accentuated by the spread of anti-Communist revolutions across Eastern Europe in 1989 , which polarised commentators between those who saw it as a culmination or embodiment of French Revolutionary ideas and those who saw it as their emphatic repudiation ) .   Hobsbawm analyses the Revolution , primarily from the perspective of how it has been subsequently interpreted over the course of the two centuries since it occurred , and examines the way that it has been re-written based on contemporary ideologies . In particular , Hobsbawm writes polemically in opposition to what he sees as the dominant trajectory in writing about the Revolution during his era : that of a revisionism which downplayed the successes of the Revolution and stressed instead its violence , rapacity and destructiveness . He argues , for instance , that the bicentenary was `` largely dominated by those who , to put it simply , do not like the French Revolution and its heritage '' .   Hobsbawm 's view is that for many in the nineteenth century , the Revolution was seen as a bourgeois precursor of potential future proletarian revolutions . He argues further that many Marxists , chiefly from 1917 to the 1960s used it as an example of a much longer-term reading of political change but that in the 1970s and 1980s ( after the first major work of revisionism by Alfred Cobban written in the Cold War milieu of the 1950s ) many historians began to argue that the Revolution achieved only limited results which were outweighed by extravagant costs . In his eyes , this shift of interpretation was a false one , and his work concludes that the Revolution was a crucial event not only for what it achieved in itself , but in terms of its longer-term patrimony to history . He concludes that `` Liberty , equality and fraternity , and the values of Reason and the Enlightenment - the values on which modern civilisation has been built , since the American Revolution - are more needed than ever '' and , finally , that the Revolution improved the world , and did so on a permanent basis .

neg: French colonial empire The French colonial empire constituted the overseas colonies , protectorates and mandate territories that came under French rule from the 16th century onward . A distinction is generally made between the `` first colonial empire '' , that existed until 1814 , by which time most of it had been lost , and the `` second colonial empire '' , which began with the conquest of Algiers in 1830 . The second empire came to an end after the loss of bitter wars in Vietnam ( 1955 ) and Algeria ( 1962 ) , and peaceful decolonization elsewhere after 1960 .   Competing with Spain , Portugal , the United Provinces , and later Britain , France began to establish colonies in North America , the Caribbean , and India in the 17th century . A series of wars with Great Britain and other European major powers during the 18th century and early 19th century resulted in France losing nearly all of its conquests . France rebuilt a new empire mostly after 1850 , concentrating chiefly in Africa , as well as Indochina and the South Pacific . Republicans , at first hostile to empire , only became supportive when Germany started to build her own colonial empire . As it developed the new empire took on roles of trade with France , especially supplying raw materials and purchasing manufactured items , as well as lending prestige to the motherland and spreading French civilization and language , and the Catholic religion . It also provided manpower in the World Wars .   It became a moral mission to lift the world up to French standards by bringing Christianity and French culture . In 1884 the leading proponent of colonialism , Jules Ferry declared ; `` The higher races have a right over the lower races , they have a duty to civilize the inferior races . '' Full citizenship rights -- assimilation -- were offered , although in reality `` assimilation was always receding -LSB- and -RSB- the colonial populations treated like subjects not citizens . '' France sent small numbers of settlers to its empire , contrary to Great Britain , and previously Spain and Portugal , with the only notable exception of Algeria , where the French settlers nonetheless always remained a small minority .   At its apex , it was one of the largest empires in history . Including metropolitan France , the total amount of land under French sovereignty reached 11500000 km2 in 1920 , with a population of 110 million people in 1939 . In World War II , Charles de Gaulle and the Free French used the overseas colonies as bases from which they fought to liberate France . Historian Tony Chafer argues : `` In an effort to restore its world-power status after the humiliation of defeat and occupation , France was eager to maintain its overseas empire at the end of the Second World War . '' However , after 1945 anti-colonial movements began to challenge European authority . The French constitution of October 27 , 1946 ( Fourth Republic ) , established the French Union which endured until 1958 . Newer remnants of the colonial empire were integrated into France as overseas departments and territories within the French Republic . These now total altogether 119,394 km ² ( 46,098 sq. miles ) , which amounts to only 1 % of the pre-1939 French colonial empire 's area , with 2.7 million people living in them in 2013 . By the 1970s , says Robert Aldrich , the last `` vestiges of empire held little interest for the French . '' He argues , `` Except for the traumatic decolonization of Algeria , however , what is remarkable is how few long-lasting effects on France the giving up of empire entailed . ''

neg: Dual revolution The Dual Revolution was a term first coined by Eric Hobsbawm . It refers specifically to the time period between 1789 and 1848 in which the political and ideological changes of the French Revolution fused with and reinforced the technological and economic changes of the Industrial Revolution . The French Revolution , inspired by the ideals of Enlightenment philosophy , spread ideas of Democracy , Nationalism , and Liberalism . These political ideas were fused with the new technological advances of the industrial revolution such as the spinning jenny , steam engines , and the puddling process . With the defeat of the French Revolution and subsequently the Congress of Vienna , Metternich constructed a balance of power in Europe that would prevent one country from gaining too much power . This set the framework for a strong conservative , reactionary stance against the ideas of nationalism and liberalism spread by the dual revolution . The Holy Alliance , formed by Austria , Prussia and Russia in September 1815 became a symbol of oppression to the ideas spread by the Dual Revolution .

neg: Brunswick Manifesto The Brunswick Manifesto was a proclamation issued by Charles William Ferdinand , Duke of Brunswick , commander of the Allied Army ( principally Austrian and Prussian ) , on July 25th 1792 to the population of Paris , France during the War of the First Coalition . The Brunswick Manifesto threatened that if the French royal family were harmed , then French civilians would be harmed . It is widely regarded to have been a measure intended to intimidate Paris , but rather helped further spur the increasingly radical French Revolution and finally led to the war between revolutionary France and counter-revolutionary monarchies .

neg: Paris Commune (French Revolution) The Paris Commune during the French Revolution was the government of Paris from 1792 until 1795 . Established in the Hôtel de Ville just after the storming of the Bastille , it consisted of 144 delegates elected by the 48 divisions of the city . The Paris Commune became insurrectionary in the summer of 1792 , essentially refusing to take orders from the central French government . It took charge of routine civic functions but is best known for mobilizing extreme views and actions among the people and for its campaign to dechristianize the churches and the people . It lost much power in 1794 and was replaced in 1795 .   The first mayor was Jean Sylvain Bailly ; he was succeeded on November 1791 by Pétion de Villeneuve after Bailly 's unpopular use of the National Guard to disperse a riotous assembly in the Champ de Mars ( 17 July 1791 ) .   In 1792 , the Commune was dominated by those Jacobins who were not in the Legislative Assembly due to the Self-Denying Ordinance .   On the night of 9 August 1792 a new revolutionary Commune , led by Georges Danton , Camille Desmoulins and Jacques Hébert took possession of the Hôtel de Ville ; the next day insurgents assailed the Tuileries , where the royal family resided . During the ensuing constitutional crisis , the collapsing Legislative Assembly of France was heavily dependent on the Commune for the effective power that allowed it to continue to function as a legislature . The all-powerful Commune demanded custody of the royal family , imprisoning them in the Temple fortress . A list of `` opponents of the Revolution '' was drawn up , the gates to the city were sealed , and on 28 August the citizens were subjected to domiciliary visits , ostensibly in a search for muskets .   It was not until 1792 that the government had a formal cabinet in place , with the appointment of the Ministers of the French National Convention and the decision of the Commissioners of the Committee of Public Safety in 1794 to take charge of administrative departments .   The government of the republic was succeeded by the French Directory in November 1795 .

neg: French Guiana French Guiana ( pronounced -LSB- giːˈɑːnə -RSB- or -LSB- giːˈænə -RSB- , Guyane française -LSB- ɡɥijan fʁɑ̃sɛz -RSB- ) , officially called Guiana ( Guyane ) , is an overseas department and region of France , located on the north Atlantic coast of South America in the Guyanas . It borders Brazil to the east and south , and Suriname to the west . Its 83,534 km2 area has a very low population density of only 3 inhabitants per km2 , with half of its 244,118 inhabitants in 2013 living in the metropolitan area of Cayenne , its capital . By land area , it is the second largest region of France and the largest outermost region within the European Union .   Both the region and the department have been ruled since December 2015 by a single assembly within the framework of a new territorial collectivity , the French Guiana Territorial Collectivity ( French : collectivité territoriale de Guyane ) . This assembly , the French Guiana Assembly ( French : assemblée de Guyane ) , has replaced the former regional council and departmental council , which were both disbanded . The French Guiana Assembly is in charge of regional and departmental government . Its president is Rodolphe Alexandre .   The area was originally inhabited by Native Americans . The first French establishment is recorded in 1503 but the French presence did n't really become durable until 1643 and the foundation of Cayenne . Guiana then became a slave colony and saw its population increase until the official abolition of slavery at the time of the French revolution . Guiana temporarily became a French department in 1797 but was gradually transformed into a penal colony with the establishment of a network of camps and penitentiaries spread over the coast where prisoners were sentenced to forced labor . During World War II , the Guianan Félix Éboué was one of the first to stand behind General de Gaulle as early as June 18 , 1940 . Guiana officially rallied Free France in 1943 . It definitively abandoned its status as a colony and became again a French department in 1946 . De Gaulle , who became president , decided to establish the Guiana Space Center in 1965 . It is now operated by the CNES , Arianespace and the European Space Agency ( ESA ) . Several thousand Hmong refugees from Laos migrated to French Guiana in the late 1970s and early 1980s .   Nowadays fully integrated in the French central state , Guiana is a part of the European Union , and its official currency is the euro . The region is the most prosperous territory in South America with the highest GDP per capita . A large part of Guiana 's economy derives from the presence of the Guiana Space Centre , now the European Space Agency 's primary launch site near the equator . As elsewhere in France , the official language is French , but each ethnic community has its own language , of which Guianan Creole is the most widely spoken .

neg: What Is the Third Estate? What Is the Third Estate ? ( Qu'est - ce que le tiers-état ? ) is a political pamphlet written in January 1789 , shortly before the outbreak of the French Revolution , by the French thinker and clergyman Abbé Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès ( 1748 -- 1836 ) . The pamphlet was Sieyès ' response to finance minister Jacques Necker 's invitation for writers to state how they thought the Estates-General should be organized .   In the pamphlet , Sieyès argues that the third estate -- the common people of France -- constituted a complete nation within itself and had no need of the `` dead weight '' of the two other orders , the first and second estates of the clergy and aristocracy . Sieyès stated that the people wanted genuine representatives in the Estates-General , equal representation to the other two orders taken together , and votes taken by heads and not by orders . These ideas came to have an immense influence on the course of the French Revolution .

neg: America's Critical Period The term America 's Critical Period , popularized by John Fiske in 1888 with his book The Critical Period of American History , refers to the period of United States history in the 1780s , right after the American Revolution , where the future of the newly formed nation was in the balance . More specifically , the `` Critical Period '' refers to the period of time following the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783 to the inauguration of George Washington as President in 1789 . The phrase was first used to describe this era ( unbeknownst to Fiske ) by William Henry Trescot in his 1857 book The Diplomatic History of the Administrations of Washington and Adams .   During the 1780s , the loose confederation of states was beset with a wide array of foreign and domestic problems . Some historians believe it was a bleak , terrible time for Americans , while others such as Merrill Jensen believe the term `` Critical Period '' is exaggerated , and that , while the decade a time of dispute and change , they were also a time of economic growth and political maturation .

neg: L'Ami du peuple L'Ami du peuple ( -LSB- lami dy pœpl -RSB- , The Friend of the People ) was a newspaper written by Jean-Paul Marat during the French Revolution . `` The most celebrated radical paper of the Revolution '' , according to historian Jeremy D. Popkin , L'Ami du peuple was a vocal advocate for the rights of the lower classes against those Marat believed to be enemies of the people , which he had no hesitation mentioning in his writings . These papers were considered dangerous because they often ignited violent and rebellious behavior .

neg: Right-wing politics Right-wing politics hold that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable , natural , normal , or desirable , typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law , economics or tradition . Hierarchy and inequality may be viewed as natural results of traditional social differences or the competition in market economies . The term right-wing can generally refer to `` the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system . ''   The political terms Right and Left were first used during the French Revolution ( 1789 -- 99 ) , and referred to seating arrangements in the French parliament ; those who sat to the right of the chair of the parliamentary president were broadly supportive of the institutions of the monarchist Ancien Régime . The original Right in France was formed as a reaction against the Left , and comprised those politicians supporting hierarchy , tradition , and clericalism . The use of the expression la droite ( the right ) became prominent in France after the restoration of the monarchy in 1815 , when it was applied to the Ultra-royalists . The people of English-speaking countries did not apply the terms `` right '' and `` left '' to their own politics until the 20th century .   Although the right-wing originated with traditional conservatives , monarchists and reactionaries , the term extreme right-wing has also been applied to movements including fascists , Nazis , and racial supremacists . From the 1830s to the 1880s , there was a shift in the Western world of social class structure and the economy , moving away from nobility and aristocracy towards capitalism . This general economic shift toward capitalism affected centre right movements such as the British Conservative Party , which responded by becoming supportive of capitalism . In the United States , the Right includes both economic and social conservatives . In Europe , economic conservatives are usually considered liberal , and the Right includes nationalists , nativist opposition to immigration , religious conservatives , and historically a significant presence of right-wing movements with anti-capitalist sentiments including conservatives and fascists who opposed what they saw as the selfishness and excessive materialism inherent in contemporary capitalism .

neg: Frankfurt proposals The Frankfurt proposals or Frankfurt memorandum was a Coalition peace initiative designed by Austrian minister Metternich . It was offered to French Emperor Napoleon I in November 1813 after he had suffered a decisive military defeat at the Battle of Leipzig . The goal was a peaceful end to the War of the Sixth Coalition . The Allies had reconquered most of Germany up to the Rhine , but they had not decided on the next step . Metternich took the initiative . The Allies , meeting in Frankfurt , drafted the proposals under Metternich 's close supervision . The British diplomat in attendance , Lord Aberdeen , misunderstood London 's position and accepted the moderate terms .   The proposal was that Napoleon would remain as Emperor of France , but France would be reduced to its `` natural frontiers . '' The natural frontiers in this case were the Pyrenees mountains , the Alps mountains , and the Rhine River . France would retain control of Belgium , Savoy and the Rhineland ( the west bank of the Rhine River ) , while giving up control of all the rest , including all of Spain , Poland and the Netherlands , and most of Italy and Germany .   Metternich and Napoleon , meeting privately at Dresden in June had already discussed the terms . The final version was relayed to Napoleon by the Baron de Saint-Aignon in November .  Metternich told Napoleon these were the best terms the Allies were likely to offer ; after further victories , the terms would become harsher and harsher . Metternich 's motivation was to maintain France as a balance against Russian threats , while ending the highly destabilizing series of wars .   Napoleon , expecting to win the war , delayed too long and lost this opportunity . By December Austria had signed treaties with the Allies , and London rejected the terms because they might allow Belgium to become a base for the invasion of England . The offer was withdrawn . When the Allies invaded France in late 1813 Napoleon was heavily outnumbered ; he tried to reopen peace negotiations on the basis of accepting the Frankfurt proposals . The Allies now had new , harsher terms that included the retreat of France to its 1791 boundaries , which meant the loss of Belgium . Napoleon adamantly refused . He was finally forced to abdicate and lost his throne .

neg: Early modern Europe Early modern Europe is the period of European history between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution , roughly the late 15th century to the late 18th century . Historians variously mark the beginning of the early modern period with the invention of moveable type printing in the 1450s , the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 , the end of the Wars of the Roses in 1487 , the beginning of the High Renaissance in Italy in the 1490s , the end of the Reconquista and subsequent voyages of Christopher Columbus to the Americas in 1492 , or the start of the Protestant Reformation in 1517 . The precise dates of its end point also vary and are usually linked with either the start of the French Revolution in 1789 or with the more vaguely defined beginning of the Industrial Revolution in late 18th century Britain .   Some of the more notable trends and events of the early modern period included the Reformation and the religious conflicts it provoked ( including the French Wars of Religion and the Thirty Years ' War ) , the rise of capitalism and modern nation states , and European colonization of the Americas .

neg: Newton Upper Falls Newton Upper Falls is a village situated on the east bank of the Charles River in the city of Newton , Massachusetts , in the United States .   The area borders Needham , Massachusetts to the south/southwest , Wellesley , Massachusetts to the west , the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston to the extreme southeast , and the Newton villages of Waban , Newton Highlands and Newton Center to the north and east .   The village is served partially by Eliot `` T '' station , part of the Green Line `` D '' Branch of the MBTA , with rapid light rail service inbound into downtown Boston and outbound to Riverside . Major roads that serve the village are Route 128 , and Route 9 ( Boylston Street ) , which provides a direct , 6 mile commute into downtown Boston .   Newton 's first mill on the Charles River was built in 1688 in Upper Falls . Over the next 150 years , the water power available at Upper Falls led to the village 's steady growth as many more mills were built along that stretch of the river . By 1850 the village had 1300 inhabitants which was 25 % of the entire population of Newton .   Newton Upper Falls is home to the Hemlock Gorge and Echo Bridge , a large aqueduct turned pedestrian walkway over the Charles River . It is said to be the only village that has retained its original name from when the area was founded in the 17th century . It has over 150 homes on the historic register despite its small area .   In 1909 , a Roman Catholic church called Mary Immaculate of Lourdes opened in Upper Falls .   Sullivan Avenue , an unpaved private road in Newton Upper Falls is the last remaining portion of the ancient highway connecting Boston and Cambridge with Newton and points west in the 17th century ( back then it was called Cambridge Village ) . Also on Sullivan Avenue is a famous pothole ; not the kind you avoid with your car , but a geological anomaly where a boulder that was originally pushed down the cliff by a now extinct waterfall got caught and became round . The boulder spun around in its place carving a shaft over thousands of years . Since then half the shaft collapsed and now all that can be seen is half of a cylindrical shaft through the cliff at the corner of Sullivan and Elliot Streets .   A 60 acre area , including much of the area between Route 9 and Elliot Street , and east from the Charles River to Cottage Street and Hickory Cliff Road , was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 .

neg: Isaac Newton in popular culture Isaac Newton was an English scientist , mathematician , natural philosopher , theologian and one of the most influential scientists in human history . His Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica , published in 1687 , is considered to be one of the most influential book in the history of science , laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics . In this work , Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries . In mathematics , Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the differential and integral calculus .   Because of the resounding impact of his work , Newton became a scientific icon , much like Albert Einstein after his theory of relativity . Many books , plays , and films focus on Newton or use Newton as a literary device . Newton 's stature among scientists remains at the very top rank , as demonstrated by a 2005 survey of scientists in Britain 's Royal Society ( formerly headed by Newton ) asking who had the greater effect on the history of science , Newton or Albert Einstein . Newton was deemed the more influential . In 1999 , leading physicists voted Einstein `` greatest physicist ever ; '' Newton was the runner-up .
