France at the time was vulnerable and recession filled and hoped for a recovery with the help from Disney. But the theme park in France did not do as well as Disney had projected. Many factors contributed to the struggles that Disney encountered

In 1992 Euro-Disney was opened in Paris. After two years the theme park was a total disaster and made huge losses.
