Later History
Following the Revolution, Versailles fell into disrepair until Louis-Philippe I transformed it into a museum dedicated to the history of France in 1837. It was the site of the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871 following the Franco-Prussian War, a deliberate insult to France, and later served as the location for the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, formally ending World War I.
