1871 in History and Art<\/h1><\/div>

1871, \u201cann\u00e9e terrible\u201d (the dreadful year) as Victor Hugo said, is a turning point in the history of France and Europe. Rather eclipsed by the two world wars, the period is nonetheless founding in history and in art.
This is one of the worse years in French history with the loss of two Eastern provinces, a country ravaged by war, a civil war and many major buildings destroyed in Paris.
In the aftermath starts a new era, with the Republic as a definite regime, and artists getting different styles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The talk will review the Triangular trade, which for centuries ensured a dominant position to Europe, until the French Revolution, appointing the first Black members of parliament in the world. Then of course, the modern times with the American influence, up to the present period.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Le Corbusier<\/h1><\/div>

Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (1887-1965) is a distinctive figure of the architecture world. Author of a famous treaty in modern architecture, he left many examples with buildings all over France but also many other places around the world.
Although highly controversial, due to his theories and role during the war, Le Corbusier’s legacy is still fondamental in contemporary architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Verdun 1916<\/h1><\/div>

Verdun is for the French, by far the most famous battle of the First World War. Not as well-known for foreigners as the battle of the Somme or in the Flanders, it has significant importance in the course of the war and is today the prominent symbol of this incredible blood bath.
From February to November 1916, formidable assaults were launched by the German army to both obtain a decisive break through and discourage the French soldiers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Mexican campaign<\/h1><\/div>

Did you know France occupied Mexico in the 19th century?! We\u2019ll go over the reasons and outcome of this rather sterile military venture as well as the fateful destiny of the French appointed emperor, an Austrian Archduke, and his wife, daughter of the first Belgian king.
From 1862 to 1867, the French Emperor vainly hoped for the creation of a vast and strong Latin Empire bordering the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Egyptian Paris<\/h1><\/div>

Napoleon Bonaparte\u2019s expedition to Egypt in 1799 nourished fantasies about the Orient that had long existed in Western art and design. The first ever military campaign set up with scientists provided a tremendous improvement in their knowledge, but also interesting changes in architecture, still visible in today\u2019s Paris.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Women who made Paris<\/h1><\/div>

If 95 % of Paris metro stations bear a man\u2019s name, things are now changing. This is why it\u2019s time to paint a portrait of a few women who have literally influenced the destiny of the City of Lights, but also the whole country, and far beyond in many ways. Either feminists, politicians, stylists, models\u2026 They all deserve a vibrant tribute!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The spiritual wonder of the Western world<\/strong>
Once the world\u2019s largest church until Saint Peter of Rome, the Benedictine abbey, built in the small Burgundy town of Cluny in the 12th century, soon became the symbol of a monastic renewal in Europe. Vibrant and leading intellectual center, the Abbey spread all around Europe to over 1200 sites and exerted considerable influence on European politics until its destruction during the French Revolution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Henri Sauvage<\/h1><\/div>

The recent reopening of the sumptuous villa Majorelle in Nancy shed a light on an unfairly forgotten architect: Henri Sauvage (1873-1932). Key figure of several architectural movements, he left us a vast variety of buildings, both private and public commissions.
With many different buildings all around France, and many distinctive ones, still visible in Paris, he greatly influenced architects from the second half of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

May 1968 in France<\/h1><\/div>

Initiating from an anti-Vietnam war movement, the 1968 students protest quickly bore more social and political claims.

The Dreyfus affair<\/h1><\/div>

Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jewish officer, epitomizes the fate of a single man facing fury and ruthlessness.
