Bourbon Dynasty, Restored
Following the ouster of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, the Bourbon Dynasty was restored to the French throne. The period of their reigns is called in French the Restauration.
Louis-Philippe ascended to the throne during the
July Revolution; some historians treat the resulting
July Monarchy as a separate period in French history.
Following the ouster of the last king to rule France, the Second Republic was formed after the election of Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte as President (1848-1852) who then had himself declared Emperor Napoleon III of the Second Empire from 1852 - 1871.
