Question

Describe ONE way in which Hideyoshi’s goals were similar to those of Louis XIV.

Answer 1

Answer:

Both were absolutist governors with total control of their countries

Explanation:

Now let's see each case.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was responsible to unify Japan in the 16th century. He put an end to the power of the feudal lords and acquired the political and military position becoming the main governor of Japan. To maintain power, Hideyoshi used the force and the threat, persecuting his enemies.

Louis XIV name himself as The King Sun, and just like Hideyoshi, Louis XIV cumulated the political and social power, but in the case of him, the maintaining of the status quo was based on religion. This means that, according to Louis XIV, his power and influence came from God.
