F68E Mapping the Emergence of France (Zoom; OLLI @ Chico)

Zoom | Available (Membership Required)

When did France become France? Using maps, this class will examine the changing boundaries and structures within the territory now known as France from the fall of the western Roman Empire circa 450 CE to the French Revolution in 1789. Key events and personalities will punctuate the story of the origins of the France we know today.

  • Leanne Ulvang earned a BA in medieval and English history from Pomona College and a JD from the University of Santa Clara. In over a dozen years as volunteer instructor, she has acquired teaching skills, improved her French, and learned that OLLI is a great place to indulge her passions for language, history, and gardens.
