About the history of Paris

The history of Paris can be traced back to the end of 3rd century BC, when a Celtic tribe came to Sidi Island along the Seine River. Le de la Cité), and choose to settle on the island, they are Parisians (Parisii). ? Le de la Cité is actually an island in the city. Today, Sidi Island is the center of Paris. The conflict between Gauls and Romans lasted for centuries and ended in 52 BC. The Roman emperor Caesar Julian won, and the Romans ruled this area. Christianity was introduced to Paris in the 2nd century A.D., and the Romans were defeated by French troops under the command of Franks in the 5th century A.D.. In 508 AD, King Frank-Clovis I joined forces with Gauls to establish a kingdom, the capital of which was located in the area formerly known as the Paris Tribe, and was renamed "Paris".

Paris flourished in the Middle Ages. /kloc-during the 0/2 century, many world-famous immortal buildings were built, such as Notre Dame Cathedral, which was built in advance and lasted for 20 years. After years of development, the Seine River, located in the northern part of the barren Malai District, has now become a prosperous right bank business district. Sorbonne Theological Seminary (the predecessor of the University of Paris) was founded in 1253, and the magnificent Saint Chapel was built in 1248. The world-famous Louvre was built in 1200.

Scandinavian pirates have been attacking the west coast of France since the 9th century. After nearly three centuries of fighting, pirates began to March into the Seine and besieged Paris. This conflict led to the Hundred Years' War between Normandy, England and Paris Capello Dynasty. France was finally defeated by the silver treasury at 14 15, and Britain was defeated at 1448. 1429, Jeanne d'Arc, who was only 17 years old, re-recruited the French army and defeated Britain in Orrland, Orlans. 1453, all English people were expelled from France except Calais.

/kloc-The Renaissance at the end of 0/4 laid the foundation for the development of Paris, during which many landmark buildings and historic sites rose. /kloc-at the end of 0/6, there was another bloodshed in Paris, which was caused by religious conflicts. At that time, there was a conflict between Huguenot Protestants and Catholics. In the conflict of San bartholomew in 1752, more than 3,000 Huguenots celebrating the wedding of King Henry of Navarra (later Henry IV) were massacred.

Louis XIV (also known as le Roi Soleil) ascended the throne in 1643 at the age of five. The rule of Louis XIV lasted until 17 15, during which frequent wars and large-scale construction almost destroyed France. His only precious legacy is Versailles, which was built 23 kilometers southwest of Paris. The arrogant and autocratic Louis XVI and the capricious Queen Mary aroused the people's uprising in Paris 1789+04. In July, the people captured the Bastille and started the French Revolution.

The radical ideas in the early days of the revolution quickly gave way to the reign of terror, and even some "patriots" did not agree with Charles I's guillotine. After the revolution, the government was in turmoil until 1799, when the young Corsican general Napoleon appeared. Napoleon consolidated the political situation, and the Pope crowned him king of France in 1804. Napoleon quickly launched a military action that swept across Europe, but his strong desire to conquer eventually led to his failure. First, 18 12 was defeated by Russia, and then 19 15 was defeated in Waterloo, Belgium. Napoleon's important legacy to future generations includes the "Napoleonic Code" and the Arc de Triomphe, which is a model of magnificent neoclassical architecture.

With the exile of Napoleon, France has been in turmoil under the leadership of a series of vulgar and incompetent rulers. Until the coup in 185 1, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte ascended the throne. During his reign of 17 years, a new Paris appeared, which made people shine: wide boulevards, a large number of exquisite park sculptures and far-reaching modern drainage systems. But this Napoleon also inherited his uncle's belligerent character, which eventually led to a war of wasting people and money (1870 Franco-Prussian War). As soon as the news of Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte's arrest reached Paris, the organization immediately took to the streets, demanding the establishment of a new republic.

Although the new Republic was established with blood, the third Republic marked the glorious "beautiful era" of France.

"Good Times" is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture and a series of artistic and scientific innovations. By the1930s, Paris had become a world-famous avant-garde art center, known as the birthplace of free academic thought. Since the 1960s, modern scientific inventions, such as electricity, bathrooms, elevators and central heating systems, have been introduced to Paris.

Paris is like la vie en rose, and its relaxed and happy lifestyle makes the urban construction of Paris develop rapidly. From 65438 to 0889, Paris successfully held an international exhibition and built the famous Eiffel Tower, which showed the pride of the country and nation in the constitution of their new colonial empire.

Paris has become the creative capital of the world's culture and architecture. The fashionable plastic arts, theaters and cinemas make Paris full of modern atmosphere. Works of art created by artists from all over the world will soon be transplanted here and placed in cities.

However, the invasion of Nazi Germany in 1940 aborted this golden period of study, and it was not until 1944 that Paris was freed from the ravages of the Nazis. After the war, urban development stagnated, and the total population was only equivalent to 1936. Only in 1949 did Paris gain the priority over national reconstruction and urban restoration. By 1954, many houses had been built in Paris. Because of the war, the former houses were too old and seriously damaged, and the population increased by 600,000 between 1946 and 1954.

1954 give priority to the construction of suburban affordable housing and put it into use.

By A.D. 1960, Paris had initially become an international metropolis. At this time, Paris received very valuable donations for the facilities needed for building a modern city: the construction of expressway, the construction of Ollie and Charles de Gaulle international airports, and the development of hotel industry supporting sightseeing and tourism.

1968 The "Spring Uprising" initiated by students pushed liberalism to a climax. Students occupied the Sorbonne Seminary (the predecessor of the University of Paris) and even set up roadblocks in the Latin quarter, which aroused more than 9 million people in France to participate in demonstrations, paralyzed the whole country and made people increasingly dissatisfied with the rigid rule of the authorities.

From 65438 to 1980s, President francois mitterrand planned a series of grand architectural schemes for the future. Although these plans failed, they were generally recognized by the public. These buildings broaden the architectural style of Paris, including the Pompidou National Art Center and the glass pyramid of the Louvre. Although these plans seem undesirable, they have at least caused controversy in Paris aesthetics.

Today's Paris is like a bright pearl, attracting tens of thousands of tourists to visit here every year. The most popular tourist attractions are Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Palace of Versailles, Pompidou National Art Center, Ossetian Museum, Science and Industry City and Notre Dame de Paris.
