332. Old Regime

The Newly crowned young monarch of France dreamed of creating a great empire, and he did not want to inaugurate his reign by losing his colony in the New World. He realized that New France would never prosper as long as it was treated as a purely commercial operation. Changes were made between 1661-65. The colony would now report directly to him and the royal administration through a governor and an intendant. Things would finally improve and change in New France under the energetic reign of King Louis the 14th of France.  Check out the YouTube version of this episode at https://youtu.be/oZHPkWt59Qc which has accompanying visuals including maps, charts, timelines, photos, illustrations, and diagrams.
