Regarding the cartoon, shield raising was an ancient Celto-Germanic Kinging ceremony. I doubt it is, or is exclusively, Roman. Shield raising may date to the time of Vercingetorix.

[edit] Awful — from Britian

The EB copying is blatantly obvious here. Some of the text uses extremely poor language, EG. "Were they to remain faithful to their original principles, as Lamartine wished, and accept the decision of the country as supreme, or were they, as the revolutionaries under Ledru-Rollin claimed, to declare the republic of Paris superior to the universal suffrage of an insufficiently educated people?". 68.39.174.238 01:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed name change

To Second French Republic (I am proposing this change for all French Republic articles.)

Second French Republic is a more precise translation of Deuxième République Française. The name of the regime was the French Republic, and it was the second one. Funnyhat 06:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Let's keep the discussion unfragmented, since we will either make all these name changes or none of them. Could everyone please respond on Talk:French Fourth Republic? Phaunt 22:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discrepancy in dates & events

"General Charles Oudinot's entry into Rome provoked in Paris a foolish insurrection in favour of the Roman Republic, that of the Château d'Eau, which was crushed on June 13, 1849."

Discrepancy in the above as the entry into Rome by the troops of General Oudinot took place on 30 June 1849. Consequently, the 13 June Château d'Eau insurrection could not have been provoked by an event that took place seventeen days later. Frania W. (talk) 16:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
