The evolution of national sentiment, according to the periods, and affecting all areas of the country

"France, the Nation War: 1850-1920" is a book written for four hands with two great historians:
-Jean-Jacques Becker ("France at war, 1914-1918: the great transformation" and "The New History of Contemporary France Volume No. 12: Victory and frustrations: 1914-1929")
Audoin-Rouzeau -Stéphane ("The Great War: 1914-1918", "What story A filial narrative, 1914-2014.")

"France, the Nation War: 1850-1920" is an excellent test: Eclectic, accurate, pleasant in its construction and in its reading, and the more I find its exciting theme.
The importance of national sentiment between 1850-1870 under Napoleon III, the shock of 1870-1871 and the national identity crisis that will be offset by a gradual increase of nationalism in its shape and Republican even more intense: echoing well all sectors of the country: (. in Centennial to remember those who have given our country) school, Geopolitics, Colonial, The social climate and the acme in 14-18 with War

The Book is built on an aging schedule a little unbalanced depending on the issue since 380 pages: the first 190 deal with the period from 1850 to 1900 and the last 190 of the 1900-1920 period.

NB In the sense of this reading, I recommend other authors as Raoul Girardet, Jules Maurin, Annie Crépin, André Corvisier.
