1989. France celebrates the 200th anniversary of its modern history’s founding moment: the Revolution. This commemoration, launched eight years earlier, has become the stage for an incredible political and cultural battle. Throughout the 1980s, historians discuss, politicians fight and citizens rally around these questions: Which image of its Revolution should France present to the world? Where does it stand in the national collective memory? And which lessons should it teach?
