As with many other important cities in Europe, the Romans set up a military outpost (52 B.C.) on the location that would one day become Paris. In the 6th century A.D., King [[Clovis I]] established Paris as his capital. This was confirmed when [[Huge Capet]] became king of France in 987 A.D. Growth increased under the reign of [[Philip II]] (1180-1223) and Paris remained the capital when [[Louis XIV]] set up his court in [[Versailles]] in 1682. The [[Germans]] occupied Paris in [[World War II]]. It was liberated near the end of the war, but was largely undamaged.<ref>The New American Desk Encyclopedia, Penguin Group, 1989</ref>
