The sinking of the SS Central America resulted in the loss of nearly 425 lives and a substantial amount of wealth, causing a significant financial panic in the U.S. banking system.

The king oversaw war in Normandy and defeated Mayenne near Arques castle (21 September 1589) , but could not take Paris. Loyalist Parliament, chaired by Achille de Harley, was installed Tours. Having conquered the whole of Normandy, except Rouen, Henry laid siege to Dreux (February 1590). Reinforcements with the Duke of Parma, Mayenne marched against him and met him at Ivry (March 1590). Once again, the Leaguers were defeated, and Henry triumphed. The blockade of Paris defended by the Duke of Mercœur began in May 1590. Mayenne and the duke of Parma having appeared at the end of the summer, Henry surrounded the city with a network of loyal towns and bided his time. A general truce was signed in July 1593, the same month in Saint-Denis, Henry IV abjured Protestantism bring peace to France. Skillfully, Henry gradually reduced the power of governors and parliaments. In 1600, he married Marie de Medici, who gave him a dolphin in 1601.
