At a time when the ancient Ottoman Empire was preparing to continue its delaying tactics and mutual squabbles over the Russian Empire issue, Paris, more than two thousand kilometers away from Constantinople, was troubled by certain issues.
This trouble was different from the anxiety of the Ottoman Empire's rulers over an uncertain future; Paris was troubled by its ever-changing transformations.
In over a year of the Seine Province City Government's reorganization, narrow roads have been refurbished and widened; from Paris East Station to Concorde Square, thousands of buildings have been acquired at reasonable prices, demolished, and rebuilt;
Half of Paris was covered in gray-yellow dust all day. Once the dust settled, the Louvre Hotel, Paris Department Store, elevators, and the short-lived electric (arc) lamps... many products that only could appear in the industrial era suddenly stood in Paris as if overnight.
