| Summary |
"A Short History of France" by Mary Platt Parmele is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1907. The book covers the rich and complex history of France from its early tribal conditions in Gaul to the modern era, providing insights into significant events and figures that shaped the nation. It likely offers readers an accessible overview of France's past, highlighting key milestones in its evolution as a nation. The opening of the book introduces the origins of France, tracing back to the early inhabitants of Gaul and their connection to the broader Aryan family. It discusses the structural and cultural aspects of the Gallic tribes, their initial barbarism, and eventual interactions with the Romans, including Julius Caesar's conquest, which laid the groundwork for the Latinization and Christianization of the region. Parmele emphasizes the transformation of Gaul into a nascent nation through these historical movements, setting the stage for future developments in the country's identity and governance.
