词汇 | boulangism |
词源 | Boulangism; boulangerite. General Georges-Ernest-JeanMarie Boulanger (1837–91) won the admiration of all France for his exploits during the Franco-Prussian War. That he was a hand- some man who looked impressive astride a horse in parades didn’t hurt his image, either. In 1886 Boulanger was made minister of war and insisted that he was the man to retrieve the lost glories of France with doctrines of militarism and reprisal against Germany. For a short time a wave of political frenzy called boulangisme swept over France, but the move- ment came to nothing, the general in reality no Napoleon and his backers largely reactionary elements. Boulanger eventually went into exile, ending his life in a suburb of Brussels as a suicide. |
