Ramping Up on French History
Mon 20 June 2011
Since I'm only hear for a month, I need to learn history quickly.
I've been enjoying Yale's online recordings of French History Since 1871. It's available through iTunes.
HistoryTeachers fills in the gaps for earlier events. This adaptation of a Lady Gaga song is a whirlwind overview of the French Revolution. See if it doesn't leave you singing "La la Liberte, E-e-egalite". Perhaps you'd prefer Napoleon, or Eleanor of Aquitaine.
