Excerpt from A Popular History of France For the last four years the eyes of the world have been fixed upon France. From the far corners of the earth, from the East and from the West, soldiers have come to fight upon the soil of this country, side by side with the French, against an invasion of the Huns. Millions of Americans have landed in France. More are coming every day. Many of them have never crossed the ocean before. All of them want to know something about the people with whom they are thrown daily into close contact. Yet it is not a time when men may sit down to study the problems of the past. The purpose therefore of this little book is to give a rapid review of the history of France, a brief account of the important events which have taken place since the First Battle of the Marne - fought against the Huns in 451 - together with a short presentation of the most eminent people, the great men and women, who have determined these events.
