Service Center for Teachers of History, Publication Number 72. The history of France from 1789 to 1914 (the long 19th century) extends from the French Revolution to World War I. By the French Revolution, the Kingdom of France had expanded to nearly the modern territorial limits. The 19th century would complete the process by the annexation of the Duchy of Savoy and the County of Nice (first during the First Empire, and then definitively in 1860) and some small papal (like Avignon) and foreign possessions. France's territorial limits were greatly extended during the Empire through Revolutionary and Napoleonic military conquests and reorganization of Europe, but these were reversed by the Vienna Congress. Savoy and Nice were definitively annexed following France's victory in the Franco-Austrian War in 1859. In 1830, France invaded Algeria, and in 1848 this north African country was fully integrated into France as a département. The late 19th century saw France embark on a massive program of overseas imperialism â " including French Indochina and Africa â " which brought it in direct competition with British interests. With the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, France lost her provinces of Alsace and portions of Lorraine to Germany (see Alsace-Lorraine); these lost provinces would only be regained at the end of World War I. Jean T. Joughin was a distinguished scholar of modern French history, former vice president of the Professional Division of the American Historical Association, and president of the Society for French Historical Studies. Joughin was professor emerita at American University in Washington, D.C., where she taught courses in French history and general European history courses from 1959 to 1983. In 1973 she was visiting professor at Stanford University. Joughin is best known for her two-volume study, The Paris Commune in French Politics, 1871-1880: The History of the Amnesty of 1880. It is a study of the significance of the revolutionary municipal council or "Commune" established by republicans in Paris and lasting from March to May 1871. The Paris Commune was violently suppressed with tens of thousands arrested, executed, or deported. The struggle between the National Assembly and the Commune was an important episode leading to the founding of the Third Republic in France. The aftermath of the struggle shaped French politics for decades. Joughin also wrote an overview of the historical literature on France in the 19th century, published in 1968 by the AHA, and more than 30 articles and reviews. Internationally known for her scholarship, Joughin was honored for her work by the government of France, receiving the Chevalier dans L'Ordre des Palmes academiques In 1984. Her scholarship was supported by grants from the American Philosophical Society, the Fulbright Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. Joughin was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, receiving her MA a year later and a Ph.D. from the same institution in 1947. Between 1944 and 1946 she was a labor market analyst for the War Manpower Commission. She worked as a labor economist in the Wage Division of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from 1950 to 1952. For 50 years she was married to Louis Joughin, best known for his coauthorship with Edmund Morgan of The Legacy of Sacco and Vanzetti.
