Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The World´s Great Events a History of the World From Ancient to Modern Times, B. C. 4004 to 1903, Vol. 4 of 5 Though more slowly molded and less imposingly vast than the empire of Napoleon, the power which Louis XIV. had acquired and was acquiring at the commencement of the Eighteenth Century was almost equally menacing to the general liberties of Europe. Tested by the amount of permanent aggrandizement which each procured for France, the ambition of the royal Bourbon was more successful than were the enterprises of the imperial Corsican. All the provinces that Bonaparte conquered were rent again from France within twenty years from the date when the very earliest of them was acquired. France is not stronger by a single city or a single acre for all the devastating wars of the Consulate and the Empire. But she still possesses Franche-Comte Alsace, and part of Flanders. She has still the extended boundaries which Louis XIV. gave her. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
