The roots of France as a separate entity started with Charlemagne dividing his Frankish empire into an eastern and a western part. The eastern part can be regarded the beginnings of what is now Germany , the western part that of France . A variety of descendents of Charlemagne ruled France until 987 , when Hugh Capet , a duke, was crowned King of France. His descendents, the Capetian dynasty, ruled France until 1789 , when the French overthrew their monarchic structure during the French Revolution . |
