The popular front led by Leon Blum, was the socialist government from 1936 which put in place the ‘Matignon Agreement’. Several developments established during the period of governing such as raising wages, and introducing the forty hour working week (James, 2003, p.124). Although they had in a sense united workers and employers, the adverse consequences resulted in a radicalised nation, with strong policing on tax evasion, and the reforms were substantially expensive (James, 2003, pp.124-125). Politically, the poor stability of the French economy didn’t allow Blum and his party to enforce their power across Europe. With the German economy recovering rapidly, and the vast military production, France simply didn’t have the resources to match up to the threat posed upon them (James, 2003, p.125).

President John Adams had sent several delegates, one of them being John Martial, to France to help sort out the issues between France and the US, such as the United States not honoring the Franco-American Treaty, formed back during the American Revolution, when France had its revolution, by meeting with minister Talleyrand of France. Three of Talleyrand’s men met with the delegates and told them Talleyrand refused to meet unless a large amount of money was payed. The delegates returned home and informed President Adams, who was outraged. The name of the Affair comes from the substituting of the three French men’s’ names with X, Y, and Z in a Congress report.

In the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth century, France was undergoing major changes. Before the French Revolution, France was experiencing political, social and economic problems. During this time period France was unstable, and wasn’t able to keep up with the new arising Enlightenment ideas. In addition, there were high taxes, unequal power distribution and social inequality. The French Revolution not only impacted the citizens of France, but people from other countries as well.

Ever since Zionists (an extremist part of the Jewish population) immigrated to Palestine In the late 1800s, violence has plagued the region. The sheer numbers of Zionists moving in to Palestine scared the Arab population already living there, and fighting began. In an attempt to stop the violence spreading through Palestine, the United Nations stepped in and divided the nation into two separate states, one for the Jewish residents, and one for the Arab population. The dividing of the nations made the Arab people feel cheated, due to a larger amount of land being given to the Jewish people, even though there were less of them. Britain, which had been in control of the nation, quickly withdrew after the separation.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the United States of American was very much a young country with big aspirations. The Americans were still getting a feel for being an independent nation and the government was struggling to utilize its power. The dreams of this new nation and its awkward government were tested in 1812 when, due to British impressment of sailors and Orders of Council, the fledgling United States declared war on the leviathan that was the British Empire. Harry Coles claims that the United States from its inception wanted to maintain peace with the major European countries and, excluding the quasi-war with France, did so until Britain’s war against Napoleon.

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought on the same side as Allied Powers. However, even though the two had fought together, there was a tension between both nations. Americans had always been wary about the Soviet Union and the spread of communism throughout the world. The Soviets, on the other hand, resented America’s refusal to see the Soviet Union as part of the international community. After the war ended, this wariness and resentment had caused a mutual distrust and hostility between the two nations.

During the mid-nineteenth century America, thoughts of revolution and independence stemmed from the idea of dismantling from British tyrannical rule. To examine how these ideas grew and what had sparked the colonies to revolt, (essentially committing treason against the mother country), one must look at the ways in which media sources such as newspapers portrayed these colonial activists. These portrayals will eventually shape the way in which the general people perceive liberty and representation. In addition, key movements against the British in spite of their powerful military helped shape a turning point in the way the rest of the world would see the "United States of America."

Her need to see her enemies destroyed is so strong that it overrides any other emotion that Madame Defarge may have left, and it leaves her “absolutely without pity” (367).

The French revolution is the dividing line between the Ancien Regime and the modern world.

And was it planned/ or was it just the extraordinary circumstances, which the French had lead themselves into once they had deposed of Louis the
