Question

explain national anthem of France.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

One night during the French Revolution, after France declared war on Russia, young Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle composed the music and lyrics to La Marseillaise.

The young man, a captain of the engineers and an amateur musician, wrote the song in just a few hours and named it ‘Chant de guerre pour l’Armée du Rhin’ (War Song for the Rhine Army).

It acquired its nickname, ‘La Marseillaise’, when it was sung on the streets of Paris by volunteers from Marseille, who had marched to the capital. The song was officially named as the French National Anthem in 1795 – and it quickly became the rallying call to the French Revolution.
