XIXe siècle : l'instabilité française, avec Guillaume Cuchet

This chronic instability could have given rise to political weariness and skepticism among the French. In reality, this was not the case. As a result, France oscillates between conservatism and progressivism in the memory of the French Revolution, which, in the words of Tocqueville, is constantly reborn in other forms. Yet, in the 1870s, even though the Chamber had a royalist majority, the Third Republic established itself over the long term. It remains to this day the longest-lasting republican regime in our history. Why such instability throughout the century, and why did it stabilize in the 1870s? Guest: Guillaume Cuchet, a professor at the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, specializes in 19th-century France and the history of Catholicism. He has just published La France au XIXe siècle (France in the 19th Century) with Calype (112 pages, €11.90). *** Facebook:   / histoireetcivilisationsmag   Instagram:   / histoireetcivilisations   Twitter:   / storiavoce
