The experience of the French people was so intimately related to that of its closest neighbor that a bilateral perspective becomes unavoidable. Without the unifying theme of Germany's crucial role in acting upon and within the French Republic, this story would become a much more random tale of events. After 1870, an autonomous national history of France is no longer possible."--BOOK JACKET.FranceForeign relationsGermanyGermanyForeign relationsFranceFranceForeign relations1870-1940GermanyForeign relations1871-FranceHistoryThird Republic, 1870-1940FrancePolitics and government1870-1940327.4304409/034Mitchell Allan1933-1501549MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792397903321A stranger in Paris3728936UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
