If France really fought with Britain during that period, Louis XV pessimistically believed that France had no chance of winning.
That's why Louis XV adopted such a policy.
Soon, the negative effects of this policy were exposed, but Louis XV said there was not much problem with these.
Under the autocracy of Louis XV.
No one could say no in front of him.
Looking back now, Louis XV sighs.
But if he is given another chance to choose to reconnect, he will still choose this way.
This policy successfully extended the life of the French dynasty for more than ten years.
Louis XV felt that this was enough.
As for the issue of the Holy See, France is a traditional Catholic country, and the Pope’s residence is located within France.
A very small place.
The Pope is so close to the French royal family. Naturally, the French royal family will definitely be influenced by Catholicism to a certain extent.
When Louis XIV, the grandfather of Louis XV, was on the throne, the influence of the Pope was not very apparent.
That's because Louis XIV, the man known as the Sun King, was powerful enough.
It is so powerful that even the Pope is afraid of it.
The divine power of that period did not invade the French royal family.
But after Louis XV came to power, he fell into a rather embarrassing situation.
His ability is definitely not as good as his grandfather Louis XIV.
Moreover, he is a very devout Catholic, and he must obey the words of the Pope, the Lord's spokesman in the world.
Even the prime minister he served as was a Catholic archbishop.
This also led to the intrusion of theocratic power into the center of power in France.
Now the imperial power has declined.
Louis XV lay on his soft horsehair mattress, which was extremely soft.
He looked up at the ceiling of the Trianon and fell into a long daze.
At this time, Louis XV's favorite woman, Madame Pompadour, came to visit him.
Madame Pompadour looked at Louis XV in a daze, and sat next to him without saying a word, looking at Louis XV.
Much later, Louis XV discovered Madame Pompadour.
He turned his head, looked at Madame Pompadour, and smiled faintly.
Perhaps only this woman can bring him the last bit of warmth.
Louis XV thought so.
...
At this time, on the other side of Europe.
Britain.
It's different from France.
Since the Industrial Revolution, wealthy capital, whether nobles or businessmen, has reshaped the power structure.
During the Industrial Revolution, too many new industries broke out, triggering a series of changes, which had a relatively large impact on the traditional aristocracy.
Britain's traditional aristocrats fell behind very quickly in their traditional planting techniques during the Industrial Revolution.
With new crops and the construction of factories, many businessmen defeated the so-called large estate owners.
Large tracts of land poured into the pockets of these businessmen. At the same time, due to the rapid economic development, Britain launched a series of new economic policies.
Under these policies, the power of the established nobles was further weakened.
