|::|Historic Snapshot
France began the 19th century with a strong leader. Fifteen years after the storm of the Bastille at the beginning of the French revolution (1789-1799) the First Empire was proclaimed in 1804 with Napoleon Bounaparte as the person who dominated France. During the Restauration (1814 - 30) and the July Monarchy (1830 - 48) the industrialization process established gas lightning, omnibus service and Paris' first railway. Baron Hussman renewed the look of Paris throughoutly and became known as "the creator of modern Paris" (* Britannica.com). His Projects continued under the Third Republic and involved many international exhibitions and important monuments like the Eifel Tower (1889).
