Paris (France), Apr 7 (EFE / EPA) .- (CAMERA: Christophe Petit-Tesson) The Musee de l'Armee in Paris presented the exhibition "Napoléon n'est plus" (Napoleon was), which is dedicated to the death and legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte and can be visited from March 31 to September 19.
In this week's show, we focus on a little-known and yet defining page in French history: the Paris Commune, which is marking its 150th anniversary. La Commune de Paris was a revolutionary Socialist government that controlled Paris from March 18 to May 28, 1871. It started as a bloody insurrection and ended in a brutal civil war, but it was also a social laboratory that experimented with concepts central to modern-day France. Today, 150 years later, its legacy continues to divide the country. We take a closer look in this episode of French Connections.
The remains of French and Russian soldiers who died during Napoleon's catastrophic retreat from Moscow in 1812 are laid to rest in a rare moment of unity between the two countries. IMAGES
