I'm writing a paper on the Palace of Versailles specifically during the French Revolution and I can't seem to find anything online about this topic. If anyone has any information or references on this, that would be great. Also, I still have time to change my topic, so if you have any suggestions on anything that would be easier to find information on, that would also be amazing. Thank you :)
What affects did the Palace of Versailles have on society?
Jealousy dear boy. I believe the peasants were quite envious of the wonderful topiary in the well-kept gardens, caused them to revolt.
What affects did the Palace of Versailles have on society?
Don't know what I know that you need to know. Versailles was a hunting lodge that got out of hand. It has the most beautiful ballroom (hall of mirrors) I Have seen, and beautiful extensive gardens. The statuary is outstanding, and the bedrooms out of imagination.
The whole problem with Versailles was the people who lived there. The French royalty was completely out of touch with the citizens. The people of Versailles were wearing powdered wigs, riding in gilt coaches, and unaware that there was no bread for the common man. This was the basis of the battle cry of the revolution %26quot;Liberty, Fraternity, Equality%26quot;.
The Palace building is a good way from Paris, and its doubtful that many in the revolution actually saw it. Rather I imagine it was metaphor for being out of touch, much like the Balmoral Castle of Scotland has been hyped in the British press as the locus of %26quot;Balmorality%26quot;.
Much like the current attack on Goldman Sachs, the temperature of society around the time of the French revolution was about the attitude of those under attack, not the dwellings in which they lived.
You can't find anything online? Really?
I think you just aren't trying hard enough.
Or it could be that you are looking for the %26quot;affects%26quot;....which isn't correct. You want to search the EFFECTS of the construction of the palace on French society.
In which case, you will find good information in the first two articles that come up.
Look in the real world.

What do you think?
Versailles is as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien R茅gime.
In a sense it changed the world. It was such a huge symbol of the power and the wealth of monarchy, that it inspired a generation of French philosophers to try and visualize a world without monarchy, Their ideas were the chief inspiration for the American revolution and the new kind of democracy led by a president. That idea in turn changed much of the world as they tried to emulate the American model.
In turn the people of France overthrew their king and began to change the politics of Europe. The palace was such an overwhelming symbol that it the revolution might not have happened or been so violent.
Versaille was imitated by all the other powers in Europe.
