	French Third Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French Third Republic, (in French, La Troisième République, sometimes written as La IIIe République) (1870/75-10 July 1940) was the governing body of France between the Second French Empire and the Vichy Regime.
		One of the most surprising aspects of the Third Republic is that it was the first stable republic in France, and the first to win the support of the majority of the population, yet it was never intended to be a long-lasting republic at all.
		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.

	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.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Rise of the French Third Republic
		The President of the Republic is elected by the plurality of votes cast by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies united as a National Assembly.
		Boulangism was a huge worry for the Republic as it showed that their position wasn't so strong and that the people of France were willing to vote for other forms of government.
		For these reasons, by 1914, the French Third Republic enjoyed widespread support from the French public, and the country was ready for war with Germany.

		The education reforms of the French Third Republic were based on the concept of consolidation of the state — which by its bourgeois nature, is consolidation of the bourgeoisie.
		As the study of the French Third Republic is most comfortably dealt with in terms of events and “affairs”, perhaps it is useful to single out a particular instance which reflects the attitude of the Republic and their true motives.
		For the French Third Republic, education played a major role, but the motives were consolidation of the bourgeois state first, with social reform at best a secondary issue; at worst an unconscious and serendipitous side-effect.

		The Third Republic was a parliamentary republic, often unstable and constantly seeking legitimacy.
		The French Third republic from 1871 to 1914 provides the first example of politics in the new era of mass politics and mass media and mass culture.
		Though the Third Republic survived--it, in fact, was never really in danger of collapsing until the interwar years--its new mass media was now a force to be considered.

		The popular enthusiasm for discovery and conquest in faraway places was matched in the French church of her own day by a vigorous missionary zeal to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of those lands -- a zeal which Thérèse herself shared.

		The Fifth Republic emerged from the ashes of the French Fourth Republic, replacing a weak and factional parliamentary government with a stronger, more centralized democracy.

		At that northern Alsatian town, the main French army was crushed and the Emperor Napoléon III himself captured by the Prussian and Baden forces.
		Though radicals favoured maintaining the Republic as a permanent institution, by far the largest part of the population favoured the reinstatement of either the elder or younger lines of the Bourbon family in a constitutional monarchy.

		French political life, in the decades preceding World War I, was characterized by an instability and polarization which infected virtually every aspect of the nation's culture.
		Victims of an earlier age of intolerance and conflict were resurrected as symbols of a continuing struggle against opponents whose ingrained sectarianism buttressed allegations of their unreliability as citizens.
		In an age so partial to the public memorialization of national celebrities of all periods, it was inevitable that the religious conflicts of the Third Republic should find an outlet in the potent symbolic arena of monumental sculpture.

		The pretenders had been gathering strength and preparing to overthrow the Republic, but Faure's death was too sudden for them to devise a coup d'état and effective guards on the frontiers would have prevented the arrival of any one of the pretenders in Paris.
		During the administration of President Faure, the world learned of the rottenness of the French army, and evidence multiplied to show that not only were worthless supplies furnished the army and navy at exorbitant prices, but that French officers trafficked in State secrets, which they sold to the enemy.
		The vanity of the French was flattered by the Franco-Russian alliance in 1895, when France loaned money to the Czar, but, in 1898, when France was on the point of war with Great Britain, over her claim to ownership of territory in the Soudan, she found that her ally would not help her.

		French political history has been stagnant for many years, until a fresh wave of scholarship in France and England in particular began, in the 1990s, to re-examine the political mainstream.

		Bullard’s initial chapter is a very thorough discussion of the philosophical bantering in the late 19th century French intelligentsia about the differences between civilized “man” and variously defined savages (including non-European peoples, peasants, the lower classes, Eastern Europeans, or, in short, any non-upper-class Parisian).
		Rather, she attributes to those administering the Third French Republic an awareness of differences between the savagery of Communards and that of the Kanaks.
		A direct discussion revealing the hegemonic significance of the Third Republic’s appropriation of the “civilized”-“savage” duality to legitimate their control may have been more illuminating than Bullard’s review of the philosophical discourse on civilized “man” in 19th-century France.

	The French Rats and the Sinking Ship by CLR James 1944
		His thesis is that “The impact of socialism on the Republic unsettled, from one end of the community to the other, the propertied classes, both those long established and those of recent date.” On this he builds his whole intricate structure.
		“French affairs,” he says, “call for decisions which can hardly be more than a gamble if arrived at in ignorance of out country’s vicissitudes all through the recent years.” While his analysis is clear, his policy is implicit.
		The French masses should turn to them a face of steel and the more devastating their indictments, the more unflinching should be the rejection of those who knew so much and said so little.

	Free Essay The Weimar Republic Face Political Problems
		Hence, the Weimar Republic was particularly weak and unstable facing intense and violent left wing opposition.
		The main reasons for nationalist hostility to the régime were that firstly, they felt that the new Republic had betrayed Germany as they believed that whilst the German army were willing and able to continue fighting, they were "stabbed in the back" by German politicians who surrendered by signing the Treaty of Versailles.
		It did this by sending French and Belgian troops to the industrial heartland of Germany, the Ruhr to collect reparations still owing to them, but the German Chancellor called for "passive resistance" by the workers of the Ruhr; a refusal to co-operate with the troops.

		The Historical Context Gabriel Jean de Tarde, (1843-1904), was a French sociologist, criminologist and philosopher who lived and conducted his scientific work under the influence of major historical, economical, social and political changes and events in French society following the French Revolution and establishment of the Third Republic in France.
		The French Third Republic, or in French, Troisieme Republiqu sometimes written as IIIeme Republique, was created on September 4, 1870 following the collapse of the Empire of Napoleon III in the Franco-Prussian War.
		Tarde analyzed the laws of opposition and his analysis led him to a conclusion that imitation and opposition are the basis for a third social factor, invention (Bogardus, 1922).
