Since the Villers-Cotterêts Edict in 1539, the French language has officially been a component of national identity. Today, the Constitution(article 2) specifies that the language of the Republic is French, while remaining open to the use of other languages. La Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France(DGLFLF) is a government department whose role is to guide national language policy at inter-ministerial level. Attached to the Ministry of Culture and Communication, the department's role is to examine, pilot and co-ordinate issues, and to track the application of legislative and statutory mechanisms(Law of 4th August 1994 on the use of the French language). It is supported by a network of partner organisations including the Senior Council for the French Language and the General Commission for Terminology and Neologisms.  1, record 2, English, - D%C3%A9l%C3%A9gation%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale%20%C3%A0%20la%20langue%20fran%C3%A7aise%20et%20aux%20langues%20de%20France

Depuis l’Édit de Villers-Cotterêts (1539), la langue française est un élément constitutif de l’identité nationale. Aujourd’hui, l’usage du français, langue de la République, est garanti sur notre territoire, en vertu de la Constitution (article 2), dans une perspective d’ouverture aux autres langues. Les pouvoirs publics disposent d’un service chargé d’animer, au plan interministériel, la politique linguistique de l’État : la Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France (DGLFLF). Rattachée au ministère de la culture et de la communication, elle joue un rôle de réflexion, d’impulsion et de coordination, assure le suivi des dispositifs législatifs et réglementaires (loi du 4 août 1994 relative à l’emploi de la langue française) et s’appuie sur un réseau d’organismes partenaires (Conseil supérieur de la langue française, Commission générale de terminologie et de néologie).  1, record 2, French, - D%C3%A9l%C3%A9gation%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale%20%C3%A0%20la%20langue%20fran%C3%A7aise%20et%20aux%20langues%20de%20France

The War of the Spanish Succession(1701-1714) was a major European conflict that arose in 1701 after the death of the last Spanish Habsburg king, Charles II. Charles had bequeathed all of his possessions to Philip, duc d’Anjou-a grandson of the French King Louis XIV-who thereby became Philip V of Spain. The war began slowly, as the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I fought to protect his own dynasty's claim to the Spanish inheritance. As Louis XIV began to expand his territories more aggressively, however, other European nations(chiefly England and the Dutch Republic) entered on the Holy Roman Empire's side to check French expansion(and, in the English case, to safeguard the Protestant succession). Other states joined the coalition opposing France and Spain in an attempt to acquire new territories, or to protect existing dominions. The war was fought not only in Europe, but also in north America, where the conflict became known to the English colonists as Queen Anne's War.  1, record 8, English, - War%20of%20the%20Spanish%20Succession
