What year was France founded in?
France was not founded. Today’s France is something like the Fifth Republic. If your textbook doesn’t help, then you’ll need to google such things as Burgundy (the southeastern kingdom that became part of France), Alsace & Lorraine (the northeastern areas that are now part of France), Ile de France, Brittany (the Celtic northwestern area). Charlemagne, Saint Louis, Napoleon… France is like most continental European states. Boundaries shift, dynasties come and go, alliances fade, and in fact the idea “nation” turns out to be a modern principle.
