Commentary
Julien Prosper Joseph Marie Edmond Legastelois, dit Julien Prosper Legastelois, est un sculpteur et médailleur français, né à Paris le 24 mai 1855, et mort dans la même ville en 1931.
Cette médaille commémore les 2 batailles de la Marne avec la victoire de 1918 au revers et les trois portraits des généraux J. Joffre, M.-J. Maunoury et J. Gallieni.
La première bataille de la Marne, souvent identifiée comme « la bataille de la Marne » a eu lieu du 5 septembre 1914 au 12 septembre 1914 entre d'une part l'armée allemande et d'autre part l'armée française et le corps expéditionnaire britannique. Cette bataille doit être distinguée de la seconde bataille de la Marne, qui se déroula en juillet 1918.
Les combats se déroulèrent le long d'un arc-de-cercle de 225 km à travers la Brie, la Champagne et l'Argonne, limités à l'ouest par le camp retranché de Paris et à l'est par la place fortifiée de Verdun. Ce champ de bataille est subdivisé en plusieurs batailles plus restreintes : à l'ouest les batailles de l'Ourcq et des deux Morins, au centre les batailles des marais de Saint-Gond et de Vitry, et à l'est la bataille de Revigny.
Au cours de cette bataille décisive, les troupes franco-britanniques arrêtent puis repoussent les Allemands, mettant ainsi en échec le plan Schlieffen (revu par Moltke) qui prévoyait l'invasion rapide de la France en passant par la Belgique, pour éviter les fortifications françaises de l'Est et ensuite se reporter contre la Russie. La retraite allemande se termine sur la rive droite de l'Aisne dès le 14 septembre, ce qui déclenche la bataille de l'Aisne..

The First Battle of the Marne, often referred to as \\\"The Battle of the Marne,\\\" took place from 5 September 1914 to 12 September 1914 between the German Army and the French Army and the British Expeditionary Force.. This battle must be distinguished from the Second Battle of the Marne, which took place in July 1918.
The fighting took place along a 225 km arc through Brie, Champagne and Argonne, limited to the west by the entrenched camp of Paris and to the east by the fortified town of Verdun.. This battlefield is subdivided into several smaller battles: to the west the battles of the Ourcq and the two Morins, in the center the battles of the marshes of Saint-Gond and Vitry, and to the east the battle of Revigny.
During this decisive battle, the Franco-British troops stopped and then pushed back the Germans, thus thwarting the Schlieffen Plan (revised by Moltke) which planned the rapid invasion of France via Belgium, to avoid the French fortifications in the East and then turn against Russia.. The German retreat ended on the right bank of the Aisne on September 14, triggering the Battle of the Aisne..

Historical background
III REPUBLIC
(4/09/1870-10/07/1940)
The news of the capitulation of Sedan provokes the revolution of September 4, 1870 in Paris. Proclaimed at the Hôtel de Ville, the Republic is endowed with a provisional government called the Government of National Defense. Threatened on the left by the insurrection of the Commune and on the right by the monarchists, the new regime had a difficult start.. Initially head of the executive power (February 1871), Thiers was responsible for reorganizing the country before choosing its form of government.. He became President of the Republic in August 1871 and, despite his action to liberate the territory, had to leave his post in March 1873 in the face of royalist opposition.. He is then replaced by Mac-Mahon favorable to the restoration of the monarchy but this one is not restored following the question of the flag. The law of the septennat was then put in place in November 1873 and then, in 1875, the fundamental laws were passed which served as the Constitution of the Third Republic.. Parliamentary system, it is characterized in particular by the clear preponderance of the legislative power on the executive power. Anticlerical, the Third Republic makes school free, secular and compulsory but continues the colonial policy for its economic, strategic and moral ambitions. Separation of Church and State was passed in 1905.. The idea of revenge on Germany and significant nationalism are at the heart of the Boulangist crisis, the Panama scandal or the Dreyfus affair of the years 1886-1899, while foreign policy is very active, particularly in Morocco and that the arms race develops. The First World War was expensive for France, which only recovered from 1920 or even 1928 for the coin with the "Poincaré" franc.. The crisis of 1929 is felt only from 1932 but lasts until 1939, a period during which ministerial instability is very important. Wavering in 1934, the Third Republic found a new unitary cement with anti-fascism which enabled the Popular Front to come to power in 1936.. But, paralyzed against Germany, France was then bogged down in a "phony war" and then suffered one of the greatest defeats in its history in June 1940.. Gathered in the National Assembly in Vichy on July 10, 1940, the Chambers, although elected in 1936, voted full powers to Pétain in a sort of collective suicide by 569 votes for, 80 votes against and 18 abstentions..
