Abstract

Since its creation in 1792, the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise," reappeared as each new republic formed and was banned as each authoritarian ruler took control. Today, there is a call to change the two-hundred-year-old anthem. Many French, especially parents, feel that it is too violent to represent the country or teach to children. This presentation traces the history of French people's reactions to their national anthem from 1792 through 2012.
