Analysis Of France's Headscarf War By Angelique Chrisafis

The militaristic inclination of France during the late 18th and early 19th century was the culmination of the idealism of the newly adopted French political system, and the abrupt character of French people's motivation to implement these ideals. As discontent with the despotic system of government in France increased in magnitude and scale, the will to fight in order to achieve equality became gained momentum. Factors such as the rapid spread of enlightenment ideals, the socio-economic inequity of the three estate system, and leaders’ utilization of French citizens’ new sense of justice to incite warfare, all come together to create an militaristic, imperial French nation. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, enacted July of 1789, provided the foundation

The Enlightenment was a period of time that stressed the importance of reason and individual ideas. Many philosophers published works criticizing a country’s monarch or divulging the flaws they saw in a system within the government, such as the justice system. The Enlightenment also stressed the importance of education, and as a result of this, literacy rates experienced a major upward trend. Now able to read the philosopher’s works, a larger sum of people now were educated on the corruptions within their government. This caused a questioning of traditional practices, and people began to believe they could revise their government.

How revolutionary was the French Revolution? Did the Revolution simply replace the old ruling elite with a new bourgeois one? What were the major effects on different groups of people, including nobles, priests, peasants, urban workers, slaves, and women?

In 1982, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was established into Canada acting as the written part of Canada’s constitution. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms describes and guarantees the basic rights and freedoms of all Canadians and also ensures equality for every single Canadian. There are many important sections throughout the entire charter but in my opinion, I believe that section 2 is the most important section of the charter. Section 2 is also known as the Fundamental Freedoms. Section 2 includes freedoms for Canadians such as freedom of: conscience, religion,thought, belief, opinion, expression, press and other media of communication, peaceful assembly and freedom of association.

The enlightenment was an intellectual movement resulting from scientific advances, and it applies critical thought and reasoning to everything, including political systems and its relationship to religion, particularly Christianity. During the enlightenment, ideas were spread and shared more easily due to an increased literacy of the people and because of the invention of the printing press, making it easier to make and distribute newspapers, thus information, to the people. One of the leading personalities during the enlightenment was a man named Voltaire, he was a judge, and was critical of the French government and its absolutism. One of his publications was called “Letters Concerning the English Nation”. He states that the “Social Contract”,

The surrender of France in June 1940, was a major blow to many French people in terms of their pride. The German Nazis succeeded in what they were attempting to do, to destroy France and bring it to its knees. The German’s use of the speed and severity of Blitzkrieg had shocked the French people, since they were very dependant on their Maginot Line. The devastating part is that Vichy, a state in France, had betrayed and forgotten its loyalty to its mother country. Pétain, governor of Vichy, released a statement on the 30th of October 1940 after he met and shook hands with Hitler in Montoire.

In 1789 the French Revolution began with King Louis XVI being the king of France. Before the revolution began there were many problems within the country of France. There was a brutal winter which made the lands bad which caused a shortage of crops like wheat. Bread was a staple food in most homes and when the flour got expensive so did the bread. The cost of bread rose so high that it equalled a month’s earning.

On the morning of July 14th in 1789, King Louie the 16th of France received the news of Prise de la Bastille, Storming of the Bastille in English. Bastille was a official prison where there were criminals who was sent to jail for their political offense or thought criminal. It also was an arsenal of the imperial court. This event was so-called the opener of “French-revolution”.

The term “ideology” when it was coined in the eighteenth century (ideologie), initially meant “the scientific study of ideas.” Over the passage of time spanning across the last two centuries, however, the term has shifted considerably. Instead of denoting the systematic and logical study of ideas, “ideology” has come to refer to a set of ideas that tries to connect thought with action of the larger group of populace where it is prevalent. That is, ideologies are defined by and attempt to contour how people think—and consequently how they act. Being interdependent, in turn then, the way society conducts itself lends shades to defining the ideology of that era and space, both thereby becoming a blended and intertwined result of each other’s mutual influence.
