France's rich history dates back to the Palaeolithic era. First settled by the Gauls during the Iron Age, the region has been controlled by Rome and the Germanic Franks.

The French Renaissance took hold in the 14th and 15th century. Culture and art developed and flourished into the 17th century. World exploration and the establishment of a global colonial empire expanded France's presense and importance in the world. The French Revolution in 1789 led to one of the first modern republics.

France would reach it's peak military and polical power under Napoleon Bonaparte in the 19th century. It was a major participant in World War I and an Allied power in World War II.

Today, France continues to be a leader of art, science, and philosophy.
