This 5 page report discusses the French theory and resultant attitude of a 'civilizing mission' in terms of its relationships with the nations of Africa. The ways in which such attitudes shaped the mindsets and identity of French-speaking African nations are as deeply imbedded as the ides of the British in the early American colonies. The entire concept of that 'civilizing mission' can be captured in the single statement: 'We have the heavy and lasting responsibility for this revolution.'
