Once upon a time, there was a country in chaos. An undemocratic feudal system prevailed, corruption reigned supreme and the country was in an economic crisis.

A group of people united by a rigid ideology brought down the government promising democratic and socialist reform!

Instead, mass beheadings followed in a period known as The Terror where all freedom of speech was suppressed and even a whiff of suspicion meant execution without trial! The educated elite fled. And western nations launched a unified attack against this rudderless nation.

A military man defended his countries borders and soon installed himself as the head of the government in a coup d’etat. Several changes of governments, two devastating wars, an ignoble role in a genocide, the acquisition of nuclear power and political unrests later, the country finally was acknowledged as a bastion of liberty, equality and fratenity!

It took France 178 years to get its act together!

We’ve only had 62!!!
