Abstract


The Bicentennial of the French Revolution in París, in the week of July 10 through 17, 1989 was such a massive, elaborate event that, given the media employed (TV, opera, films, etc.), attained brilliantly the objective which from the outset its organizers intended: to show the rest of the planet the unbreakable democratic identity of the French republic in the world today. Leaving a few uncompromising critics aside, the event was perceived generally as presented coherently. However, on the occasion of the First Centennial, in 1889, as well as the 150th aniversary, in 1939, criticism was harsher, voiced by monarchists and unabashed opponents of the Revolution. Significantly, the consensus of 1989 coincided with widespread ignorance of French history among the country's young; and it was at them, as well as the gneral public in the rest of the world, that the event was directed, with a powerful educational thrust.
