Eighteenth Century (National History of France)
by Casimir Stryienski
Dive into the captivating history of Bourbon France as we explore its final days, beginning with the death of Louis XIV in 1715. Witness the ascension of the unprepared Louis XV, whose reign is marred by financial turmoil and a market bubble ignited by the visionary John Law. As the King indulges in pleasures and leaves governance to his cardinals and mistresses, France faces significant losses in India and North America during the Seven Years War. The narrative shifts to 1774, when Louis XVI takes the throne, well-meaning yet ineffective, falling under the influence of Marie-Antoinette and her circle. By the time capable ministers emerge to tackle the nations crises, it may already be too late for France. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)
