It meant that the beauty of Paris in the 18th century was due to the corrupt officials taking advantage of the common man. (This was the reason of the French Revolution)

Paris was the second-largest city in Europe, with a population of about 600,000 persons. The century saw the construction of Place Vendôme, the Place de la Concorde, the Champs-Élysées, the church of Les Invalides, and the Panthéon, and the founding of the Louvre Museum. Paris witnessed the end of the reign of Louis XIV, was the center stage of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, saw the first manned flight, and was the birthplace of high fashion and the modern restaurant.

Throughout the 18th century, the government was unable to pay its mounting debts. As Saint-Simon wrote, the taxpayers of France were obliged to pay for "a war badly begun and badly supported, the greed of a prime minister, of a favorite, of a mistress, of foolish expenditures, and the prodigality of a King, which soon exhausted a bank and undermined the Kingdom."

Which factors led the people of France to overthrow <br>their government?​
padilas [110]

Many factors led to the French Revolution. The Revolution was followed by the Seven Years' War, which lasted between 1756 and 1763 and resulted in victory for England. Unfortunately, France's debt increased. France's government faced an even tighter financial situation, when it gave financial support to the American Revolution. Taxes had also increased, and the people of France rose with anger.

This speech was given just one month before the official end of the American Civil War. This war caused significant fighting between the Union and the Confederacy.
