Gallic Wars were waged between 58 and 50 BC by the Roman general Julius Caesar against the peoples of Gaul (present-day France). Gallic tribes, including the Averni led by the Celt chieftain Vercingetorix, fought to defend their homelands against an aggressive Roman campaign. The Wars culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul. The Conquest of Gaul brought Roman occupation and influence to a land later to become France, one of North America’s major European founding nations. North American institutions, architecture, infrastructure, city planning, art, history, culture, manners, customs, traditions, political organizations, laws and language, owe a great deal to the Roman Empire.

It is impossible to properly understand the exploration and colonization of North America without having some understanding of Roman history. The Conquest of Gaul (58-50 BC) by Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) during the mid-first century BC brought Roman occupation and influence to a land later to become France, one of North America’s major European founding nations. North American institutions, architecture, infrastructure, city planning, art, history, culture, manners, customs, traditions, political organizations, laws and language, owe a great deal to the Roman Empire.

Coucou everyone! From bike tires to the most prestigious culinary rating institution, Michelin has a foundation that starts small and grows to be monumentally influential worldwide.

This week on Talking Luft we're taking one last look back at the 2023 TDF, where I took my History of the Tour de France quiz to the masses! Or better put, to a whole bunch of current pros and DS's that I managed to pull aside for a chat on the roadside of the Tour, to put them through their paces - including Caleb Ewan, Mat Hayman, Ian Stannard, Jai Hindley, Luke Durbridge, and Neilson Powless, among others. It required a bit of specialist TDF knowledge, and a bit of historical insight, plus a few just for fun, like whose legs would you want in this year's TDF, would you go full polka dot with the KOM jersey, which is the hardest of the Grand Tours, what does ASO stand for, and can you name the five winners of five or more Tours? I've gotta say, some of the efforts were a bit woeful, and a couple were a little bit controversial, but we had plenty of laughs and I hope you enjoy listening along! Cheers, Mitch
King Charles canceled his much anticipated official visit to France that was scheduled for the end of Mach, because the French President, Emanuel Macron, told him don't come - we have mass protests here in France! France is now approaching three months of mass protests against President Marcon's pension reform bill, which increased the retirement age from 62 to 64. Polls show that 65% of the French people oppose this increase in their retirement age. And these protests are massive, similar to the Yellow Vests Protests that gripped France in violence back in 2019. Although last week's protests were not as large as prior weeks', still, some 13,000 police officers nationwide, including 5,000 in Paris, were deployed to face and control protestors So... What's the impact of these protests that are at times violent and volatile? Here are some examples from recent Wall Street Journal and New York Times reports: Schools were shut down Trains and other public transportation were limited Many domestic and international flights were canceled Some roads and university entrances were blocked... Garbage went uncollected... More than one hundred government buildings have been vandalized... More than 800 security officers have been injured And lawmakers from President Marcon's party, have received death threats To better understand the history of French protests and their revolutionary spirit, I spoke with Professor Robert Gildea of Worcester College at the University of Oxford... He has been studying modern French history for forty years with particular interests in both la France profonde and revolutionary France, the scholarship that is illustrated in his books titled Education in Provincial France and Children of the Revolution, The French, 1799-1914. To learn more about Prof. Gildea and his extensive research and publications, you can visit his academic homepage. In addition, below are links to other podcast conversations about revolution: S2E33: Iran's 1979 Revolution, Dr. Sohrabi. S2E42: Revolutionary Spirit of Iranians, Dr. Ghamari-Tabrizi. S2E16: Russian Revolutions, Dr. Steinberg. I hope you enjoy these episodes.

After briefly exploring the early history of France, she takes you on a spooky tour of the swampy terrain of the Yeun Elez, leading you to the unfathomable depths of the area known as the Youdic - a place said to be the gateway to hell and its connection to the black dogs of Brittany.

In this episode, we are joined by historian, professor, and author of the book France in the Second World War, Chris Millington. With him, we take a deep, reevaluating look at the 1940 fall of France, questioning the popular narrative of French cowardice, lack of preparation, and inferior military capability as being the reasons for their defeat. From internal struggles amongst generals, to recognizing that it was not just a French failure, but rather an Allied failure, to looking at how the events during the Summer of 1940 impacted politics around the world in the years after, we explore what makes the fall of France History's Most Misunderstood Defeat.

This week on All Ears, Abby takes a trip through the underworld of internet culture with YouTuber Natalie Wynn, also known as ContraPoints. An ex-philosopher with a penchant for elaborate sets and costumes, Natalie got her start making response videos to right-wing YouTubers after finding herself alarmed at the increase in hate speech online. Her wildly popular YouTube videos are highly stylized essays, full of sharp, incisive commentary on topics ranging from gender pronouns to capitalism. Natalie and Abby’s conversation touches on the dangerous misogyny of incels, Natalie’s hijacking of YouTube's algorithm, and how alt-right ideologies hide in plain sight. Natalie also talks about the discomfort of transitioning in the public eye, and gives her surprising prediction about the next big schism on the platform.The videos excerpted in the show include Gender Critical, Incels, and The Left.For more of Natalie's work, All Ears recommends Opulence, Beauty, Men, and Canceling.EPISODE LINKSStrawberry Banana Pancakes (iHop)The Making of a YouTube Radical (New York Times)The Woman Who Accidentally Started the Incel Movement (Elle Magazine) Robespierre overthrown in France (History.com)Contrapoints YouTube ChannelContrapointsNatalie Wynn on Twitter: @ContraPoints

In Muslims and Jews in France: History of a Conflict (Princeton University Press, 2014), Maud S. Mandel, Dean of the College at Brown University, challenges the view that rising anti-Semitism in France is rooted solely in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Instead, Mandel argues that the Muslim-Jewish conflict in France has been shaped by local, national, and international forces, including the decolonization of French North Africa. Looking at key moments, from Israel’s War of Independence in 1948, to the 1968 student riots, to France’s experiments with multiculturalism in the 1980s, Mandel poses a challenge to the reductionist narrative of Muslim-Jewish polarization.
