A boy from a noble family once asked: "Aren't they cold outside? Why don't they go home and light the stove?"
Regarding this problem, the refugees had no way to explain it to him, and his parents also had no way to explain it to him.
This is already the norm in France.
And the King of France, Louis XV, was still immersed in luxurious enjoyment after saying: "After I die, let the floods come to the sky."
Louis XV was still affectionately called the most popular man by the French people.
However, because of his appeasement policy towards Europe and his own indecisiveness and neglect of government affairs, the French people completely lost confidence in him.
The so-called appeasement policy is essentially a way of handing over materials and interests through concessions to avoid the outbreak of war.
Under this cowardly policy, France was at war with Britain, especially on the mainland of Europe.
After retreating again and again, no results were achieved at all.
All of this was blamed on the indecisive emperor, Louis XV.
Louis XV was not unaware, otherwise he would not have predicted his future after his assassination.
But even so, Louis XV did not make any changes.
Such policies still exist.
In fact, what's more, he has deeply realized that France cannot escape the fate of decline.
He is now just the emperor of the French Empire and a great king on the surface, but only on the surface.
The three classes in France now have long become the dominant theocracy.
Those nobles are just in name only. They have huge wealth but no power at all.
His power as the King of France has long been eclipsed by the current Pope.
The Holy Crusaders who marched eastward are a good example.
Without his consent, Douglas and Prince Subitz could lead the attack.
This time, he was assassinated.
It is said that the person who assassinated him was a handyman working for a noble family.
He was born into a poor man, not because he was an enemy of Louis XV, but because Louis XV, the king, made the French people miserable.
Louis XV did not refute the assassin's contempt at all.
Yes, he introduced a policy of appeasement.
But for Louis XV, that was something he had no choice about.
The Industrial Revolution swept across Europe, but it started in Britain.
That’s right, France has faced its most powerful opponent in more than two hundred years, and its sworn enemy, Britain!
After the Industrial Revolution, Britain's strength grew by leaps and bounds.
Although France had cooperated with Britain, Spain, the former empire on which the sun never set, was crippled.
But it was at that time that France realized how terrifying this former opponent had become.
It was at that time that Louis XV decided to adopt a policy of appeasement and develop French industry privately.
Avoid starting a head-on conflict with Britain when it is strong.
This is used to stabilize the situation.
However, this policy had a negative effect, that is, France was already thinking about how much war reparations it should pay before the war started against Britain, so as to make Britain give up the idea of attacking France.
These benefits will naturally be repaid equally to the French civilians in the end.
