First sentence: For the great majority of French nationalists at the end of the nineteenth century, no matter how extreme their nationalist beliefs and the racism and anti-Semitism they preached, the determination of who was truly French was never exclusively a political, legal, or racial question; that is it was not strictly a matter of citizenship, ethnic or racial background, or the national origins of one's parents.
