Commentary


La colonne de Juillet est une colonne élevée sur la place de la Bastille à Paris, entre 1835 et 1840 en commémoration des Trois Glorieuses. Ces trois journées de la révolution de juillet 1830 amenèrent la chute de Charles X et du régime de restauration, puis l'instauration de la monarchie de juillet, avec le règne de Louis-Philippe Ier, duc d'Orléans, devenu roi des Français..

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".
