Regarding the cartoon, shield raising was an ancient Celto-Germanic Kinging ceremony. I doubt it is, or is exclusively, Roman. Shield raising may date to the time of Vercingetorix.

The EB copying is blatantly obvious here. Some of the text uses extremely poor language, EG. "Were they to remain faithful to their original principles, as Lamartine wished, and accept the decision of the country as supreme, or were they, as the revolutionaries under Ledru-Rollin claimed, to declare the republic of Paris superior to the universal suffrage of an insufficiently educated people?". 68.39.174.238 01:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To Second French Republic (I am proposing this change for all French Republic articles.)

Second French Republic is a more precise translation of Deuxième République Française. The name of the regime was the French Republic, and it was the second one. Funnyhat 06:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let's keep the discussion unfragmented, since we will either make all these name changes or none of them. Could everyone please respond on Talk:French Fourth Republic? Phaunt 22:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"General Charles Oudinot's entry into Rome provoked in Paris a foolish insurrection in favour of the Roman Republic, that of the Château d'Eau, which was crushed on June 13, 1849."

Discrepancy in the above as the entry into Rome by the troops of General Oudinot took place on 30 June 1849. Consequently, the 13 June Château d'Eau insurrection could not have been provoked by an event that took place seventeen days later. Frania W. (talk) 16:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The date for the Constituent Assembly election contradicts the Wikipedia page for the election itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dahuey37 (talk • contribs) 07:31, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As it stands, the History section makes little sense.

Why was the population of the faubourgs on its way to central Paris? Why were there barricades? Who was manning them? What were the protestors protesting about?

I guess the whole section has been copied from somewhere (EB?) without context. Maproom (talk) 23:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)I do not mean this as negative, but the style of the article feels as if it is translated from French. Often French discussions of subject assume a basic knowledge of the subject by the reader. These discussions fill in the details. However, this may not be appropriate for this article, especially for foreigners who may not have much background in French history.[reply]

I was under the impression that a portion of contemporary Algeria was administered as a part of France itself during the Second French Republic. Is this not true? A quick perusal of the Google results seems to tell me it was the case -- am I missing something here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackwc123 (talk • contribs) 15:32, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
