r. Charles X (1 jan 1824 ano – 1 jan 1830 ano)

Descrição:

Charles X was conservative and denied concessions toward liberals.

He wanted to re-establish the older order in France and turned to military adventure in an effort to rally French nationalism and gain support after being blocked by opposition. He thus turned towards Muslim Algeria, part of the Ottoman Empire. A French force took the capital city in 3 weeks. Algerians revolted and wages war until 1831, until the French finally subdued them. This marked the rebirth of French imperial expansion, and France then encouraged immigrants to move to Algeria.

Charles then repudiated the Constitutional Charter in an attempted coup in 1830. He censored the press and issued decrees that stripped much of the wealthy middle class of voting rights. An insurrection in the capital by the middle class ensued. The government was brought down, Charles fled, and the middle class brought Charles’s cousin, Louis Philippe, to the throne.
