The people of France were fed up with the absolute monarchy, and King Charles X was forced to abdicate after a three-day revolution. The National Assembly had no choice but to turn to Louis Philippe, the Duke of Orléans, to take the throne. Louis Philippe was known for his liberal views and willingness to compromise, which suited the French people's desire for change. He became the King of the French, marking the beginning of the July Monarchy. This new era promised a more inclusive and representative government, bringing an end to the repressive rule of Charles X.
