As the Allied Forces continued to withdraw, the public security in France deteriorated sharply. The newly empowered Paris Revolutionary Government clearly lacked governance experience, and their measures were laughable at best.
For instance: the "Economic Recovery Law," the "Employment Law," the "Social Assistance Law"...
These measures seemed admirable, yet they overlooked feasibility. Whether it was economic recovery, employment boosts, or social assistance, all depended on one thing—money.
Unfortunately, France was broke. The continental wars had not only bankrupted the French government, but had also severely weakened civilian financial groups who were powerless to provide funds to the Paris Government.
Printing money was someone's brilliant idea when there was none. Small denominations like 1 franc and 2 francs had long disappeared from history; since the success of the Paris Revolution, zeros on the francs had only multiplied.
