Not for 2010 Students!!!
In-Class Project - Evaluate events during the French Revolution in small groups. Make sure that you bring your textbooks on
October 16-17!
Notes from Class Discussion 10/20-21/2004:
- The French Revolution had its roots in the reign of Louis XIV.
- Louis broke the French treasury by fighting too many losing wars.
- His last war, the War of the Spanish Succession ended with his grandson Philip V ascending the Spanish throne and starting
a political union between the two countries that lasted until the mid 1800s.
- Louis XIV also spent a large fortune on building his palace at Versailles, pushing France deeper into debt.
- When Louis died in 1715, he left his 5-year old great-grandson, Louis XV the throne.
- Since Louis XIV did not trust anyone else to help him rule, there was no one competent to take over.
- Louis XV grew up with a regent ruling the throne, no understanding of finances or politics, and a lot of parties that
threw France deeper and deeper into debt.
- Louis XV is reported to have said when a minister expressed concern over the growing political and economic problems of
France, "After me, the flood."
