What does the Emperor Charlemagne have to do with the question mark? Why are there so many French words in the English language? How were the boundaries of modern-day France formed? What is the connection between the French and American revolutions?

This course will answer all of these questions and more. We will explore famous figures from French history, beginning with the Roman invasion of Gaule through the French revolution. The course will be taught in English, but French vocabulary will be presented.
