Commentary
La fête nationale du 14 juillet (1790 fête de la Fédération, pas 1789, prise de la Bastille et libération de ses sept prisonniers) date en réalité de 1880 et était avant tout dans l’esprit de ses instigateurs la fête de la République. Antérieurement, la fête nationale était le 15 août comme l’explique ce site http://www.notrefamille.com/v2/editorial-dossiers-942/fete-nationale-changement-de-date.asp.
Historical background
SECOND REPUBLIC
(02/24/1848-12/2/1852)
Louis-Napoleon was elected on December 10, 1848 as the first President of the Second Republic. He did not have the right to run again in 1852. Louis-Napoleon decided to make a coup planned for December 2, 1851, the anniversary of the coronation of the Eagle and the commemoration of the Battle of Austerlitz. The coup is ratified by a plebiscite on December 21 with more than 7.5 million YES and only 640,000 NO. Victor Hugo went into exile on December 12. The following year, he will publish "Napoléon le Petit" which will earn Louis-Napoleon, who has become Napoleon III in the meantime, this famous sentence: "Napoleon le Petit by Victor le Grand".
