France

France is mostly plains (especially on the Western side) or low raised plateaus with an altitude less than 300 metres.

Five major landforms may be :

- plains (plaine de la Brie, Plaine de la Beauce)

- plateaus (plateau des Causses, plateau des Cévennes)

- hills (collines des Vosges, collines du Sancerrois)

- valleys (vallée de la Loire, vallée du Rhône)

- mountains (Alps, Pyrénées, Massif Central)

The highest mountain ranges are the French alps, borduring Italy and the South of Switzerland (Mont Blanc has the highest elevation in Europe), the Pyrénées straddling the border with Spain, and the smaller Massif du Jura borduring Swirtzerland. The Massif Central is another, older mountain range of lower elevation in south central France.

That is a hard thing to answer. The "France" area before the foundation of kings was first conquered by Julius Caeser when he claimed the area between the Po river, the Rhine river, and to the Basque mountains. That was the basis for Gaul or France as we know of it today. After the empire fell, Charlemagne took all of France, Spain, and large parts of germany and Italy. The region of "France" was disputed, because it included parts of the Rhineland. France finally formed after the breakup of the empire, when castles caused divisions and the start of a feudal system. Once France was united to relatively modern borders by kings, the stayed intact even during the assualts of the English, who took an area auround normandy and calais, but never conquered France completly, but the English had multiple ties to power. The true first conquering of the state of France was during the Franco-Prussian war, when Otto Von Bismarck and the German Union marched on Paris. Even then, it took until World War 2 before it was truly conquered, when the German-Nazi armies took all of France and declared half of France "Vichy France". The divisions that seperate Frances border and elsewhere was pretty liquid until V-E day occured and France was given up to teh Rhine river, and germany was given back the Rhineland, as well as the seperation of the Orange Low Countries.

The storming of the Bastille on July 14th, 1789 occured because the people felt the need to arm themselves and arms were stored up at the Bastille. During the reign of Louis XVI, France faced a major financial crisis, triggered by the cost of intervening in the American War of Independence, and exacerbated by an unequal system of taxation. On 5 May 1789, the Estates-General of 1789 convened to deal with this issue, but was held back by archaic protocols and the conservatism of the Second Estate. On 17 June 1789, the Third Estate, with its representatives drawn from the middle class, or bourgeoisie, reconstituted themselves as the National Assembly, a body whose purpose was the creation of a French constitution. The king initially opposed this development, but was forced to acknowledge the authority of the assembly, which subsequently renamed itself the National Constituent Assembly on 9 July. Paris, close to insurrection, and, in François Mignet's words, "intoxicated with liberty and enthusiasm, showed wide support for the Assembly. On 11 July 1789, with troops at Versailles, Sèvres, the Champ de Mars, and Saint-Denis, Louis XVI, acting under the influence of the conservative nobles of his privy council, dismissed and banished his finance minister, Jacques Necker, who had been sympathetic to the Third Estate, and completely reconstructed the ministry. News of Necker's dismissal reached Paris in the afternoon of Sunday, 12 July. The Parisians generally presumed that the dismissal marked the start of a coup by conservative elements. Liberal Parisians were further enraged by the fear that a concentration of Royal troops brought to Versailles from frontier garrisons would attempt to shut down the National Constituent Assembly, which was meeting in Versailles. Crowds gathered throughout Paris, including more than ten thousand at the Palais-Royal.

Camille Desmoulins, a known freemason from the lodge of the Nine Sisters, successfully rallied the crowd by "mounting a table, pistol in hand, exclaiming: 'Citizens, there is no time to lose; the dismissal of Necker is the knell of a Saint Bartholomew for patriots! This very night all the Swiss and German battalions will leave the Champ de Mars to massacre us all; one resource is left; to take arms!' The demonstrators had earlier stormed the Hôtel des Invalides to gather arms (29,000 to 32,000 muskets, but without powder or shot), and were mainly seeking to acquire the large quantities of arms and ammunition stored at the Bastille - on the 14th there were over 13,600 kg (30,000 lb) of gunpowder stored there. At this point, the Bastille was nearly empty of prisoners, housing only seven inmates: four forgers, two "lunatics" and one "deviant" aristocrat. The governor of the Bastille prison was monsieur De Launay. Ninety-eight attackers and one defender had died in the actual fighting. De Launay was seized and dragged towards the Hôtel de Ville in a storm of abuse. Outside the Hôtel a discussion as to his fate began. The badly beaten de Launay shouted "Enough! Let me die!" and kicked a pastry cook named Dulait in the groin. De Launay was then stabbed repeatedly and fell, and his head was sawed off and fixed on a pike to be carried through the streets

Without the US' help, Operation Overlord (D-Day) would never have happened. Without D-Day, France would have never been liberated. The US wanted to liberate France as the stepping stone to driving into Germany and ending WWII in Europe. Plus the US did feel some kindred towards France since they aided us in our revolution. And the French by and large were very kind to our troops in WWI. I have to set the record straight here to protect ALL soldiers that help liberate France. It was the U.S./Canada/French/Italian who bond together to help liberate. Canada went against Hitler and then 2 years later the U.S. jumped in. All soldiers lost in that terrible war are worth mentioning. Sorry, there were other countries, but the main one was Britain! Remember good old Winston Churchill?

the distance between the 2 is 163 miles actually and i think if i remember correctly it is about 4 hours and something minutes.

Napoleon was marching north to assist the Confederates, and the Mexicans beat him back. It's why Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in America than Mexico. Without the natives beating Napoleon back, we'd have to put up with a two-front war. And that would mean that the French would have another defeat on top of a united Germany knocking on the door later.
