| The borders of modern France are roughly the same
as those of ancient Gaul, which was inhabited by Celtic Gauls. Gaul
was conquered for Rome by Julius Caesar in the 1st century BC, and the
Gauls eventually adopted Roman speech (Latin, which evolved into the
French language) and Roman culture. Christianity took root in the 2nd
century and 3rd century AD, and became so firmly established by the
fourth and fifth centuries that St. Jerome wrote that Gaul was the
only region “free from heresy”. In the Middle Ages, the French would
adopt this as a justification for calling themselves "the
Most-Christian Kingdom of France". In the 4th century AD, Gaul's
eastern frontier along the Rhine was overrun by Germanic tribes,
principally the Franks, from whom the ancient name of "Francie" was
derived. The modern name "France" derives from the name of the feudal
domain of the Capetian Kings of France around Paris. Existence as a
separate entity began with the Treaty of Verdun (843), with the
division of Charlemagne's Carolingian empire into East Francia, Middle
Francia and Western Francia. Western Francia approximated the area
occupied by modern France.
The Carolingians ruled France until 987, when Hugh Capet, Duke of
France and Count of Paris, was crowned King of France. His
descendants, the Capetian, Valois and Bourbon dynasties progressively
unified the country through a series of wars and dynastic inheritance.
The monarchy reached its height during the 17th century and the reign
of Louis XIV. At this time France possessed the largest population in
Europe (see Demographics of France) and had tremendous influence over
European politics, economy, and culture. Towards the end of this era,
France played a major role in the American Revolution by providing
capital and some military assets to the anti-British rebels.
