The rule of Louis XVI was of extravagance. When he became the king, he found an empty treasury. Long years of war had drained the financial resources of France. Added to this war was the cost of maintaining an extravagant court at the immense palace of Versailles. Under Louis XVI, France sponsored the American rebellion against their common enemy, Britain. The war added more than a billion livres to a debt that had already risen to more than 2 billion livres.
