독일과 프랑스 68혁명의 결정적 사건과 5월의 폭발

Abstract

This paper compares the ‘68 revolution of Germany and France, the two main countries of the Revolution in Europe, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. The ‘68 revolution of both countries have similarities despite the remarkable differences between the two. This article first compares the critical events of both countries: the June 2 event and the Easter insurrection in Germany, the barricade night in France. In addition, this article focuses on the relationship and the mutual influence of the German and French ‘68 revolution. Here, the protests of French university students against the shooting of Rudi Dutschke, the icon of the ‘68 Revolution in Germany, will be at the center. I will then compare the events of Germany and France in May 1968. The comparison of these two countries will be a good opportunity to identify common points and to understand their meanings beyond the differences between Germany and France, the key countries of the ‘68 revolution in Europe.
