About This Topic

France and French history appear across a wide range of academic disciplines, from political history and economics to art history and film studies. Students encounter this subject in history, social studies, international relations, and humanities courses, where France serves as a focal point for examining European politics, colonial expansion, cultural production, and economic theory. The breadth of the topic reflects France's long historical influence—its conflicts with Britain and its role in shaping North American history through events like the French and Indian War make it a recurring subject in courses covering early modern and colonial history, while French art movements and cinema invite analysis in arts and media programs.

The archived papers approach this subject from several distinct angles. Historical and political analysis dominates, with essays examining the French and Indian War, British legislation between 1764 and 1774, and the motivations of colonial powers and Amerindian peoples caught between competing empires. Cultural and artistic perspectives also feature prominently, including work on the French New Wave's influence on modern film directors and analysis of figures like Pierre Bonnard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in connection with La Revue blanche. Some papers engage economic frameworks, such as the Fama-French model in contrast to the Markowitz Portfolio theory.

A strong essay on a French-related topic begins with a tightly scoped thesis that connects a specific event, movement, or figure to a broader historical or cultural argument. Evidence drawn from primary sources, policy documents, or close analysis of artistic works tends to carry the most weight. A common pitfall is treating "French" as a geographic backdrop rather than an active force—strong papers consistently examine how French institutions, individuals, or conflicts directly shaped outcomes in politics, culture, or economics.

European Imperial Expansion 1415–1800: Causes and Powers

There were many factors that caused European powers to expand beyond their original borders and, in many instances, beyond the continent. One of these was simply colonization where one country battled another and claimed its territory as its own. Another factor was trade where the trade dealings of specific countries brought them into contact with another and, thereby imported their influence into foreign soil. The slave trade too was a contributory factor where people from one powerful country captured slaves from an insignificant part of the globe (such as from Africa or captured at sea) and sold them in another.

Che Guevara's revolutionary involvement: perspectives from Cuba, Africa, and superpowers

Che Guevara was born as Ernesto Guevara de la Serna in 1928 to a middle-class family (Castaneda 1998, 3). He was Argentinean by birth but was later awarded with an honorary Cuban citizenship in recognition of his contribution towards the armed struggle in the Cuban revolution. Studying to become a doctor, Guevara became influenced by Marxist ideals and teachings upon a motorbike trip across South America at the age of twenty-four where he observed the exploitation and deprivation of the poor people under capitalism (Castaneda 1998, 50). He became a champion of the class struggle against capitalism on an international level. He joined Fidel Castro in 1955 in overthrowing the Cuban government of Batista. Subsequently, he became an important figure in Cuban diplomacy and a vocal critic of the United States and the Soviet Union. Later on he helped revolutionary groups in Congo and Bolivia until he was captured and executed by the Bolivian Army and the CIA in 1967 (Castaneda 1998, 326).
