Louis XIV And The Colonization Of France

So he did so in 1608, he established the first French settlement in north America called Quebec later followed by two more Trios- Rivieres (founded 1634) and Montreal (1642). why'll he was building Quebec they encountered native Americans called the Huron Indians. They helped the French get up on their feet by trading them furs for their European goods. This then established a peace treaty an a steady income for the slowly growing settlements. However, with this steady fur income the new settlements really never grew their society in the 1660's, the three settlements combined only had around 3'200 people. In the begin of the development of the settlements they were runned by the Company of New France. This later changed when King Louis XIV disbanded it for not showing any progress towards the settlements. He then took direct control over the colonies and established a more military secure region among the colonies. So France build multiple colonies in the western hemisphere that had great economies and political power, but the French really had a hard time establishing societies and growing their population. This would result in lower income from the west, but the French knew it was there so they didn't give up on

It is often debated whether or not the reign of King Louis XIV had a positive or negative effect on France. Although there were improvements during his reign in transportation, culture, and national defense, there were far more negative aspects. He depleted the national treasury with his liberal spending on personal luxuries and massive monuments. His extreme fear of the loss of power led to poor decision making, which caused the court to be of lower quality. King Louis XIV’s disastrous rule brought about a series of effects that influenced the French Revolution in the following century.

After years Cartier ascended the St. Lawrence as far as the Lachine Rapids, to where Montreal now stands, and attempted, with Jean-François de La Rocque, sieur de (lord of) Roberval, to found a colony near what is now Quebec.

The French settled within North America during the 17th century. This started when Samuel de Champlain founded the settlement of Quebec in 1608. The settlement was owned and controlled by the Company of New France while it’s population slowly grew. The colonists of New France, traded with the Native Americans at trading posts set up along the St. Lawrence river. The Native Americans traded various fur pelts in exchange for European goods such as metal tools and weaponry. The camaraderie formed from trading resulted in two Native tribes (the Montagnais and Hurons) to become military allies with the colonists. In 1663, New France came under the control of King Louis XIV after he shutdown the Company of New France. Soon afterward, in 1681, Robert Sieur de La Salle claimed Louisiana for France.

In both Louis XIV rule and Democracy In America, religion is important in either supporting the authority of the king, such as Louis XIV, or protecting the liberty of the people from the majority, as in Democracy in America. Yet, the different use of religion in Louis XIV's rule and in Democracy In America ultimately explains why democracy has a universal impact, whereas Louis XIV is not entirely inexorable. As mentioned before, religion can serve as the backbone for democracy. For instance, Tocqueville argues that religion “not only regulates mores, but extends its empire over intelligence” (Democracy In America 279). If mores did not exist then democracy would collapse as there would be no social order. On the other hand, democracy also serves

Once upon a time, there lived a King named Louis XIV. He lived a fancy lifestyle, spending lots of money on unnecessary things, such as building his palace out of gold and marble.

Describe the period of French colonialism in Indochina, including a description of the pathways and mechanisms by which the French established control in the region, the means they used to keep control, and the events leading to their loss of the colony. Why do you think the French ultimately lost Indochina?

During Louis’s reign he had created and seen many critical and astounding discoveries such as foods, regions and lakes, “including colonies made in the America's and the far east.” (“Louis Unique.”) Although past French colonization in the west aided in predominance, Louis helped the colonies become apart of France, expanded territory, let business augment and increased growth of population and trade. “Under Louis XIV New France flourished.” (“New France.”) Louis would encourage life in the new colony by sending, “850 young women as brides-to-be.” (“New France.”) The principles of reconstructing the fur network trades and colonization led to rejuvenated exploration of the Great-Lakes and Mississippi areas. Jean Talon started new enterprises, “such as shipbuilding, trade with the West Indies, commercial crops like flax and hemp, fishing industries and a brewery.” (“New France.”) Near the end of Louis’s life, “New France reached its greatest territorial extent at the start of the 18th century.” (“New France.”) Approximately two hundred fifty people were living in increments of twelve settlements in NewFoundLand and approximately fifteen hundred people in Acadia. “Several hundred lived around the mouth of the Mississippi and around the Great Lakes.” (“New France.”) Louis’s empire had several trading posts, located at the Saguenay River Basin. A total of twenty thousand people

Louis XIV's absolutism in France caused significant consequences in France. Economically, he used 80% of the wealth of the country on his personal palace. After the reign of Louis XIV, France was not in a good state financially. Politically Louis XIV centralized the government, strengthened the royal administration, decreased other sources of authority, and weakened power of the nobility. Socially, France was one of the strongest countries; however, Louis XIV used much of the money and there were not many surrounding areas who allied with France or helped them out. Socially, the people of France as far as peasants, they stayed peasants, the wealthy and powerful had everything.

Louis XIV, France’s Sun King, had the longest reign in European history (1643-1715). During this time he brought absolute monarchy to its height, established a glittering court at Versailles, and fought most of the other European countries in four wars. Although his reign had some negative aspects; on balance, Louis’ reign was primarily a benefit to France.

The first social science that Louis the XIV benefitted was the economy. According to the reading “France Under Louis the XIV”, “Louis’s brilliant finance minister Jean-Baptiste Colber, imposed mercantilist policies to bolster the economy.” Basically what the reading explains is that the economy was bolstered by the finance minister that Louis the XIV appointed. Since Louis the XIV appointed a strong finance minister it can be assumed that he placed a large focus on economics. This positively impacted the country of France as a whole. A strong economy within the country allowed for international trade to increase as well as `

Louis XIV had a passion for glory and used it to fight four wars because he was motivated by personal and dynastic considerations.

King Louis XIV was made King of France at the age of just four years old. It is incomprehensible to me that he began his rule when he was only four years old. His rule must have been outstanding because we are still talking about it. During his 72-year reign, King Louis XIV of France made good use of the Baroque style. Even in the reading, it says that Kind Louis XIV was the "most successful" of the absolute monarchs. European kings aspired to be as mighty as King Louis XIV. An absolute monarch is when the monarch (King Louis XIV) has absolute unrestricted political power. In future times, this form of rule has proved to be dangerous. It would eventually introduce the world to cruel power hungry tyrants. King Louis XIV wasn't a cruel tyrant

Based of the predictions I had made, it showed Louis XIV not guilty of most of his charges except the Living of an Extravagant Lifestyle. Though I would like to continue to agree to this, based off the many strong and extremely persuasive arguments against the Third Estate Member and the Unnecessary war of Expansions, I had to think otherwise. I believe that through the trial, I was able to gain a perspective of how certain actions of Louis XIV were considerably wrong in the matter that he wasn’t thinking of whether this would benefit or ruin his own people. And though we may have been a king to glorify France in so many ways through it being an international influence, having dominance in Europe and even expanding its own borders it never
