This topic is important to highlight the issues that led the French to their dismal point from them being recognised and regarded for their culture, their values and traditions, their people as well as their organised functions and operations. It seeks to explain the events that made the Britons how they are looked upon today. The Britons are regarded more as having their groups as formed around that of races or on the basis of ethnicity. This transcends them into more organised form that is needed to take significant feat in high pressure situations as that of Civil Wars, Revolutionary Wars or fights. These are the most significant elements that may deliver high impact upon the shaping of the national identity and national history of any country. Although our focus is the classes; classes that played a role in shaping the history of Britain as well as that of France, but these elements with groups of French formed on the basis of ethnic beliefs or racial juxtapositions denote the class; with the element from the class of people that matters the most.

This similar approach when applied upon the French registered them as the assimilationist; which implies that when they fall prey to conflicts as Civil Wars and Revolutionary Wars, to which it was so excessively subjected from the 18th century to the late 19th century, they assimilate the experiences rather than learning from it. This is the position that led them into losing their once strong national identity and potentially strong history. It can to the greater extent be attributed to the group into which its people are divided and inculcated into acting as assimilators. French depicts collectivistic nature and it is this nature that makes all the Frenchmen follow the same approach rather than initiating change. Nationalism and Capitalism

Introduction

Britons and French share some specific historical aspects, one among which is that they once belonged to imperial nations. This inheritance of this belongingness to the imperial crown has resulted in the sharing of national identity; one which is found to prevail among the people who ruled empires and had been a part of it. Association to the imperial crown inculcated among them honour and dignity. In contrast to this expressed associations, it has been argued by one researcher that they do not share the same self-image as imperial ventures undertook by Britons were more successful than that of French. This has triggered greater national consciousness among French than that in English people. This however posits the major factor that shaped the national history, although at the broader level. The understanding at this broader level is necessary to aid in the transition towards the role of domestic elements as classes that influenced the national history.
