Background of France

     Did you know that France makes 400 kinds of cheese? Hello cholesterol and happiness, goodbye healthy living. Did you also know that the Eiffel Tower weighs about 10,000 tons? Anyway let's get down to the history of France. France is about 80 percent of Texas, if that helps with a visual, and is the largest nation in western Europe. In France with its summers are warm, its cool, rainy winters, and 90 percent of land fertile, makes France one of the world's leading farming nation.
     France did not immediately succeed in establishing a democracy due to the fact that Napoleon became emperor of France in 1799. Prior to that, France was under the control of the Romans for 500 years, starting in 58 B.C. Hard Rock life for them but eventually they obtain a democratic government and rights as citizens.
     France can also be known as a place where there were individual achievements. For example, as Marie Curie discovered Radium in a French lab and she became the first women to win a Nobel Prize.
