On completion of the module, students should be able to place the French colonial enterprise in international context, assessing the different ways in which the confrontation with the empire differed in France and Britain, for example. They should be able to trace the deep roots of the violence that accompanied decolonisation in France and grasp the intolerance implicit within the French Jacobin model, intolerance that negated both the purported 'civilising mission' and the French revolutionary championing of the Rights of Man.
