Question

In his later years, Louis involved France in Several different wars

Answer 1

War in 1688 against England.

War on the Spanish heritage

Explanation:

• The beginning of the end of a period of popularity and strength, comes with complete neglect of the king who ceases to follow the events in Europe. France responded to the Dutch invasion of England in 1688 by the declaration of a new war.
• Proof of this insanity is the rival coalition of the Netherlands, England, the Holy Roman Empire, Spain and Sweden. The result could only have been defeat, as confirmed by the 1697 peace treaty. T
• he real result of that peace was null and void as all his signatories knew of the new tensions that would erupt at the death of the Spanish king without children.
• As the king was dying, an agreement was reached on the succession of Spain, whereby the French heir to the throne would receive Italy, and Austria to Spain. On the news of the death of the King of Spain on November 1, 1700, Louis XIV rejects the plan, citing the death wish of a king who leaves all his possessions to his grandson the King of the Sun, provided he does not come to union with France. The war on Spanish heritage will last more than ten years. The peace treaty ending this war of 1714 marks the defeat of France as it confirms the condition of the 1700 succession treaty which Louis XIV then rejected.
