France

France is a republic, not a kingdom, so it does not have a king.

NO Albert Einstein was NOT french. he was born in GERMANY in March 1879

and died in 1955.

the word hexagon is used as an alternative name for France itself because of the general shape of the country, which fits (very roughly) in an hexagon.

It all depends. If you are a four-yar old boy, nobody minds. If you are a teenage girl or young woman, that's considered distasteful even. And this is considered cheaply vulgar when wearing skirts. For men it is not considered polite especially when speaking to someone (in the office, etc..)

France is to Europe as China to Asia

In France and it ends in Russia.

Mexico was fighting France, as part of the Second Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).

As a consequence of the large indebtedness acquired after both the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the Reform Wars (1857-1861), the Mexican government faced such economic difficulties that president Benito Juarez suspended interest payments to foreign countries on July 17th, 1861. This angered France, Spain and England, who united their efforts to apply gunboat diplomacy on Mexico, and force it to continue with these payments. On December 8th of the same year, the Spanish fleet and troops from Spanish-controlled Cuba arrived at Mexico's main Gulf port, Veracruz.

Juarez negotiated the terms of such payments at the "La Soledad Preliminaries"; while Spain and England were satisfied and pulled their troops from the region, France wasn't interested in such debt: they were interested in conquering Mexico to prevent the rising of the United States as a world power by establishing a foothold in the Americas, and supporting the Confederate forces during the American Civil War (1861-1865). As a secondary objective, France was interested in exploiting the large silver, copper and iron mines located on northern Mexico.

On March 6th, 1862 5,000 French troops arrived to Veracruz, letting know friends and foes alike that France was in for the conquest of Mexico. The United States weren't able to protest until May 6th of 1862, but by that date, the legendary Battle of Puebla or Cinco de Mayo (May 5th, 1862) had already taken place.

I'd be glad to help if I only knew the questions.

One of the best known landmarks is actually a group of islands off the coast of Cannes. Les Isles de Lerins comprised of St. Marguerite, St Honore (now under the control of Cistercian monks). There are 7 chapels on the island, the oldest being in the shape of a trefoil in plan. It is possible that when it was built in the 11th century that it was in tribute to St. Patricks alleged use of the Trefle (the Shamrock) to explain the concept of the Trinity. The chapel is actually called 'la Trinidade'. Their other main claim to fame is that they were the location of the imprisonment of the Man in the Iron Mask. St. Honore also lays claim to the legend that St. Patrick on his way back from his meeting with Pope Celestine I, spent time on retreat there before heading on his mission to convert the "Pagan" Irish. It is possible that the name Lerins is a combination of the old Gaelic name of Ireland, Erin and the French 'le'.

I would think so, but I'd like to hear of another city some one thinks is more artistic

Not really. It was about a century ago but what big names in Art do you see coming out of Paris these days? None, really. London or Berlin are the places to be if you're an artist.

the population of France in 50bc was 2,500,000

it is because French people don't think that it should be started with Sunday.
