France History - Time line of French History Gaul Franks France in the Middle Ages Valois Dynasty ... Fifth Republic Gaul main Gaul article S ettled mainly by the Gauls and related Celtic peoples (apart from a shrinking area of Basque population in the south-west and Ligurian population on the southern coast), the area of modern France comprised the bulk of the region of Gaul (Latin Gallia) under Roman rule from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD Franks main Franks article In 486, Clovis I, leader of the Salian Franks to the east, conquered the Roman territory between the Loire and the Somme, subsequently uniting most of northern and central France under his rule and adopting (496) the Roman Catholic form of Christianity in preference to the Arianism preferred by rival Germanic rulers. After Clovis's death (511) his realm underwent repeated division while his Merovingian dynasty eventually lost effective power to their successive mayors of the palace, the founders of what was to become the Carolingian dynasty. The assumption of the crown in 751 by Pepin the Short (son of Charles Martel) established Carolingian rule in name as well as in fact. The new rulers' power reached its fullest extent under Pepin's son Charlemagne, (Charles the Great), who in 771 reunited the Frankish domains after a further period of division, subsequently conquering the Lombard kingdom in northern Italy (774), incorporating Bavaria (788) into his realm, defeating the Avars of the Danubian plain (796), advancing the frontier with Muslim Spain as south as Barcelona (801), and subjugating Lower Saxony (804) after prolonged campaigning.

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search The Tour de France Table of Contents History Champions Multiple Winners Other Resources History The world's greatest bicycle race originated in 1903 because of a feud between two French sports newspapers. Le Velo was the original publication. Its competitor, L'Auto -velo , was founded by a former advertiser who had become unhappy with some of Le Velo 's editorial policies. In January of 1903, Le Velo won a trademark suit against its competitor, and L'Auto -velo was forced to become simply L'Auto Fearful that the name change would kill the newspaper, L'Auto editor Henri Desgrange decided that a major race would create publicity and circulation. His cycling reporter, Georges Lefevre suggested a six-day race over roads and through towns rather than on a track. On Jan. 19, 1903, L'Auto announced "the greatest cycling trial in the entire world. A race more than a month long: Paris to Lyon to Marseille to Toulouse to Bordeaux to Nantes to Paris." With a 20-franc entrance fee, response was poor. Only 15 riders had signed up by a week before the scheduled May 31 start. Desgrange postponed the race to July 1, announced that the first 50 riders were given 5 francs a day for expenses, and increased the prize money to 20,000 francs.

History Preview By Tim Maloney, cyclingnews.com correspondent The Players Lance will count on his " boyz " Tyler Hamilton and Kevin Livingston to do the job again in the mountains in 2000. These home-grown American riders are powerful, smart and loyal and should give Armstrong the set-up basis he needs to repeat as TDF champ this year. After less than positive comments about his win in last year's Tour by top riders like Pantani and Bartoli, Armstrong may be motivated to show the world that he can beat a much tougher Tour peloton this year, packed with hungry former winners on the rebound like Jan Ullrich (Telekom) and Marco Pantani (Mercatone Uno). Marco Pantani remains an enigma: the recent emergence of the diminutive climber in last month's Giro d'Italia was like a re-baptism by fire for the unpredictable Italian. He suffered like a dog at first after starting with little racing, but by the final few stages in the Alps, Pantani played a vital role helping his talented young teammate Stefano Garzelli capture the Giro win. Can Pantani come back as a Tour contender ? The question remains...

Its monarchs surrounded themselves with capable ministers and French armies were among the most innovative disciplined and professional of their day. Its present name (France) was derived from the latin Francia, meaning 'country of the Franks' During the reign of Louis XIV (1643-1715) France was the dominant power in Europe. But overly ambitious projects and military campaigns of Louis and his successors led to chronic financial problems in the 18th century. Deteriorating economic conditions and popular resentment against the complicated system of privileges granted the nobility and clerics were among the principal causes of the French Revolution (1789-94). Although the revolutionaries advocated republican and egalitarian principles of government France reverted to forms of absolute rule or constitutional monarchy four timesthe Empire of Napoleon the Restoration of Louis XVIII the reign of Louis-Philippe and the Second Empire of Napoleon III.
