Description: This series provides analyses of complex issues and problems in important A level Modern History topics. Using supporting documents the books aim to provide a clear account of historical facts and the differing interpretations of central themes. The main issues in French history from 1870 to 1914 are surveyed focusing on the patterns of politics and structure of society in this first phase of the regime. Placing the republic in the context of French and European history, the author argues in favour of the viability of a regime often criticised for economic backwardness, political instability and international weakness.
