	French Third Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The French Third Republic, (in French, Troisième Republique, sometimes written as IIIème Republique) (1870/75-10 July 1940) was the governing body of France between the Second French Empire and the Fourth Republic.
		Instead a "temporary" republic was established, pending the death of the elderly childless Chambord and the succession of his more liberal heir, the Comte de Paris.
		When France was finally liberated, few called for the restoration of the Third Republic, and a Constituent Assembly was established in 1946 to draft a constitution for a successor, established as the Fourth Republic that December.

		The Fifth Republic is the fifth and current republican constitution of France, which was introduced on October 5, 1958.
		Charles de Gaulle used the crisis as an opportunity to create a new French government with a stronger office of president, which before was largely that of a figurehead.
		French presidents, as in preceding constitutions, were given a long term (7 years, now reduced to 5 years) and currently still have more internal power than most of their European counterparts in parliamentary democracies.

		The French Republic or France (French: République française or France) is a country whose metropolitan territory is located in western Europe, and which is further made up of a collection of overseas islands and territories located in other continents.
		Although the French monarchy is often dated to the 5th century, France's continuous existence as a separate entity begins with the division, in 843, of Charlemagne's Frankish empire into eastern, central and western parts.
		The French Republic is furthermore a member of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and of the Indian Ocean Commission (COI), and an associate member of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS).

	Third French Republic
		The French Third Republic, sometimes written as the IIIrd Republic (1870-1940), was the governing body of France between the Second Empire and the Fourth Republic.
		By the late 1870s, with public opinion swinging heavily in favour of a republic, the President of the Republic, Patrice MacMahon, duc de Magenta, himself a monarchist, made one last desparate attempt to salvage the monarchical cause by dismissing the republic-orientated prime minister and appointing a monarchist duke to office.
		The Republic was also rocked by a series of crises, none more famous that the Dreyfus Affair, in which it was alleged that a Jewish officer in the French Army was a German spy.

	French Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the French Revolution (1789-1799) democracy and republicanism overthrew the absolute monarchy in France, and the French portion of the Roman Catholic Church was forced to undergo radical restructuring.
		While France would oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the First Republic fell to a coup d'état by Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolution nonetheless spelled a definitive end to the ancien régime, and eclipses both subsequent revolutions in France in the popular imagination.
		The Concordat of 1801 between the National Assembly and the Church ended the dechristianisation period and established the rules for a relationship between the Catholic Church and the French State that lasted until it was abrogated by the Third Republic on the separation of church and state on December 11, 1905.

		French politics, for the past 30 years, have been characterised by the opposition of two political groups: one left-wing, centred around the French Socialist Party, and one right-wing, centred around the Rassemblement pour la République (RPR), then its successor the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP).
		In 2003, France's natural population growth (excluding immigration) was responsible for almost all the natural growth in European population: the population of the European Union increased by 216,000 inhabitants (without immigration), of which 211,000 was the increase in France's population alone, and 5,000 was the increase in all the other countries of the EU combined.

	Will the French Republic Live Again?_Church vs. State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Restored by Napoleon to a place in the national life as the official or “established” faith of France, the church tended throughout the nineteenth century to side with the forces of conservatism and reaction against those of liberalism and democracy.
		The conflict increased in sharpness after 1880 and reached a climax in the celebrated Dreyfus case that shook France to its political and social foundations at the turn of the century.
		The royalists were so discredited that they practically disappeared as a political party; the anti-Dreyfusards in the army were removed from positions of authority; and the church was stripped of much of its power, notably in education, and completely separated from the state.

		It came to power as a result of the 1848 Revolution and is counted as the second republic because the government during the French Revolution is counted as the first, although the revolutionary government is more often discussed as three periods: the National Convention, the Directory, and the Consulate.
		It was now the turn of the Republic, and it was proclaimed by Lamartine in the name of the provisional government elected by the Chamber under the pressure of the mob.

	The French Republic and Its Symbols (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The representation of the French Republic by an allegorical figure, a woman, usually wearing a Phrygian cap, is not written into the constitution, but its official status cannot be denied since she is featured on the Seal of State, as well as on coins and stamps, those other symbols of public life and responsibility.
		Nowadays, use of the symbol of the Republic in the form of a woman with a Phrygian cap and called Marianne is found particularly in municipal institutions (as opposed to national politics) and sometimes lends itself to popular and headline-grabbing stunts that are a pretty far cry from official republican gravitas.
		The World War II was fought and won (at least as far as French involvement was concerned) under the sign of the Cross of Lorraine, the emblem chosen by Free France and then by the Resistance to distinguish their flag from the tricolor which had been kept by Vichy.

		The Fifth Republic emerged from the ashes of the French Fourth Republic, replacing a weak and factional parliamentary government with a stronger, more centralized semi-presidential system.
		Given the runoff voting system used in the presidential election, the president of the Republic has a high degree of legitimacy, since he has to obtain a majority at either the first or second round of elections.
		The Fifth Republic, with a president with significant official functions and a great political clout, is sometimes criticized as being "monarchic".
