{{History of France}}
The '''July Monarchy''' ({{langx|fr|Monarchie de Juillet}}), officially the ''Kingdom of France''<!--not bold, does not redirect here, separate article--> ({{langx|fr|Royaume de France}}), was a [[liberalism|liberal]] [[constitutional monarchy]] in [[France]] under {{lang|fr|[[Louis Philippe I]]|italic=no}}, starting on 9 August 1830, after the revolutionary victory of the [[July Revolution]] of 1830, and ending 26 February 1848, with the [[French Revolution of 1848|Revolution of 1848]]. It marks the end of the [[Bourbon Restoration in France|Bourbon Restoration]] (1814–1830). It began with the overthrow of the conservative government of [[Charles X of France|Charles X]], the last king of the main line [[House of Bourbon]].
 
[[Louis Philippe I]], a member of the more liberal [[House of Orléans|Orléans branch]] of the [[House of Bourbon]], proclaimed himself as {{lang|fr|Roi des Français}} ("[[popular monarchy|King of the French]]") rather than "King of France", emphasizing the popular origins of his reign. The king promised to follow the ''[[juste milieu]]'', or the middle-of-the-road, avoiding the extremes of both the conservative supporters of Charles X and radicals on the left.

The July Monarchy was dominated by wealthy [[bourgeoisie]] and numerous former [[Napoleon]]ic officials. It followed conservative policies, especially under the influence of {{lang|fr|[[François Guizot]]|italic=no}}. The king promoted friendship with the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|United Kingdom]] and sponsored colonial expansion, notably the [[French conquest of Algeria]]. By 1848, [[revolutions of 1848|a year in which many European states had a revolution]], [[Louis Philippe I]]'s popularity had collapsed, and he abdicated because of the [[French Revolution of 1848|revolution]].
