RE: Today in history: King Louis XVI of France

in #history8 years ago

It's interesting how France first attempted to wrest the American colonies from the British in the French and Indian War, and place them under French rule, to helping the colonies become independent of England. Enlightenment ideas probably played a role in that but it is still ironic nonetheless.

Enlightenment but I also bet on the history they had ^^
