can you really even understand things like the French Revolution, resulting from the big government excesses of the Sun King?
nope from the big government spendings for helping America in her war of independance, BTW the king was Louis XVI, some humble person that had the unfortuned love for exoctic countries, and for discovering unknown worlds and maritim routes : he armed “La Boussole” and “l’Astrolabe”, 2 ships with La Perouse as captain, following “Cook” expeditions, though they had less chance, the whole equipee disappeared along Vanikoro, a Salomon island in south of Australia.

Also he created the french Navy that fought the English armada at Chesapeake bay, since France kept the cult for a strong and glorious Navy

the Sun king was Louis the fourteenth
