What is the writing background of "The Three Musketeers"?

Alexander Dumas famously said: "What is history? It is the nail on which I hang my novel." "The Three Musketeers" is hung on the nail of French history from 1625 to 1628. An excellent novel.

At that time, France, which was dominated by Catholicism, began the religious reform. As a result, the power of Protestantism became increasingly powerful and occupied many cities, forming a state-within-a-state situation. For the unification of France and the consolidation of political power, in 1625, the Cardinal personally commanded the army to capture the last bastion of Protestantism, the city of La Rochelle, and since then deprived the Protestants of their political privileges.

This period of history was a major political event in France at that time. The novel is based on it, which will naturally arouse great interest among readers. However, the work is not limited to history, but sublimates the events and characters that appeared in history, and evolved into a magnificent and exciting literary masterpiece.
