Bourbon Restoration

After the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte the Bourbon lineage was returned to the throne in France. Louis XVI had been killed by the decree of prefect Thibaudeau, and the one remaining member of the royal family was the young Louis XVIII. The regime change was welcomed by the French populous who had grown weary of Napoleon's military and economic policies (The Continental System), but was never fully supported. Because of this basic indifference to the ruler the monarchy only endured until the July Monarchy coup in 1930 which placed Louis Phillippe on the throne.
