Would a restored French monarchy have favored the navy?

If France had restored the monarchy after the Franco-Prussian War, with Henri de Chambord accepting the flag, would the navy have been better placed?

Probably not: the consequences of the Franco-Prussian War would still encourage concentration on the army.

A restored monarchy is judged unlikely to change the immediate priority given to the army. The recent Franco-Prussian War would still shape French military attention. Accepting the flag would therefore be unlikely, by itself, to improve the navy's position.
