Take the following as truth: For many years France was a nation of internal contrasts ' between the more urban and industrial north and the rural south, between the intellectual elite and the largely agricultural workforce, between chic Paris and the less sophisticated provincial cities ' and a nation that saw itself as standing alone, distinct from all others.
Then the following statement: "France used to have sharp contrasts dividing society along regional, economic, and educational lines." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: True
