ABSTRACT

France and Germany, which have common origin in the Carolingian Empire, have broken away from their nationalist viewpoint and set the starting point of their respective histories in the 10th century, that is, with the emergence of the Capetian and Ottonian dynasties. In contrast, while emphasizing the unity of the Carolingian Empire and the exchange and amicitia between the divided kingdoms, it was also emphasized that the substantive or cultural division of the two was only accomplished in the 12th century. However, the history of the two countries in the 9th and 10th centuries is characterized by a tendency to decentralize power and by dynamic interactions between numerous local forces, beyond the declarations or exchanges of specific dynasties. What should be noted is that in this process, especially from the end of the 9th century, the spheres for electing the kings of East and West Francia were formed differently. In this respect, the process of forming the historical and political identity of France and Deutschland needs to be reevaluated from an bottom-up perspective as a self-organization by complex local forces, rather than a top-down perspective of division and integration discussed at the dynastic level.
