 | | France was on the verge of civil war when Bonaparte – aided by Talleyrand and the Directory member Emmanuel-Joseph Sièyes – carried out the coup of 19 Brumaire (1799), destroyed the Directory, and set up the government known as the Consulate. | | | This treaty was due largely to the growing feeling in France that the real enemy of French national unity was Spain, and Charles IX planned a united attack of Protestants and Catholics on Spain. | | | The succeeding age of Louis XIV was the logical conclusion of Richelieu's domestic and foreign policies. |

| | This concept of a Nation agreed upon is opposed to the German concept of a Nation based on ethnicity and race, and it was responsible for much of the conflicts between France and Germany in the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. | | | The right-wing Front National party made significant inroads in the early 1980's, seized on voter concern about the perceived decline of France and 'national dissolution' as a result of immigration and globalisation, by advocating tougher law-and-order and immigration policies. | | | Contrary to what many people believe, the name of the former French currency, the franc, does not come from the name of the country. |
