• Sommario/riassunto: "In this compelling volume, Tyler Stovall takes a transnational approach to the history of modern France, and draws the reader into a key aspect of France's political culture: universalism. Beginning with the French Revolution, Stovall traces the evolution of France through industrialization, the rise of republicanism, empire, the world wars, and decolonization. Throughout the book, Stovall examines France's relations with three areas of the world: Europe, the United States, and the empire. By exploring these global interactions, the text provides new insights into both the nature of French identity and the making of the modern world in general"--
