Eighteenth Century (National History of France)

Casimir Stryienski

Eighteenth Century is a historical account by Casimir Stryienski that chronicles the decline of Bourbon France from the death of Louis XIV in 1715 to the rise of Louis XVI in 1774. The narrative details the political and economic turmoil of the era, including the financial schemes of John Law and the losses in the Seven Years' War. Stryienski highlights the ineffectual reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, illustrating how personal indulgences and poor governance contributed to France's eventual downfall. This work provides a comprehensive overview of a pivotal century in French history.
