Since 1914, the French state has faced a succession of daunting and
at times almost insurmountable crises. The turbulent decades from
1914 to 1969 witnessed near-defeat in 1914, economic and political
crisis in 1926, radical political polarization in the 1930s,
military conquest in 1940, the deep division of France during the
Nazi Occupation, political reconstruction after 1944,
de-colonization (with threatening civil war provoked by the
Algerian crisis), and dramatic postwar modernization. However, this
tumultuous period was not marked just by crises but also by
tremendous change. Economic, social and political "modernization"
transformed France in the twentieth century, restoring its
confidence and its influence as a leader in global economic and
political affairs. This combination of crises and renewal has
received surprisingly little attention in recent years. The present
collection show-cases significant new scholarship, reflecting
greater access to French archival sources, and focuses on the role
of crises in fostering modernization in areas covering politics,
economics, women, diplomacy and war.
