Episode 12 - En Francais

<p>Today we get introduced to France, the land of wine, cheese, and staggering loss. A lot of what happens in the decades we cover revolves around France and its ability, or inability, to control events happening in Europe. So to start off, this episode provides the context that France finds itself in during the interwar era. And also just what the cost of winning WWI actually entailed for the nation. </p> <p> </p> <p>Bibliography for this episode: </p> <ol><li>Adamthwaite, Anthony Grandeur and Misery: France 1914-1940 Arnold, 1995</li> <li>Wright, Gordon France in Modern Times, 4th Ed WW Norton Company, Inc, 1987</li> <li>Fortescue, William The Third Republic in France 1870-1940 Routledge, 2007</li> </ol><p> </p> <p>Questions?
