Yes but not very closely, Louis was a Bourbon of France and the Austrian Archduke would be the Holy Roman Emperor and would have been an Austrian Hapsburg.

The two families are interlinked by marriages at various points. The closest one I can think of is through Louis XV's father - Also a Louis and Duke of Burgandy who was the son of the Dauphin (The heir to the French Throne and also a Louis) which takes us to Louis XIV our Louis XV's GreatGrandfather who managed to out live both the Dauphin and the Duke of Burgandy which is why Louis XV gets to be king rather than his dad or grandad.

Louis XIV "The Sun King" was probably France's greatest ever king and he had married a Spanish Hapsburg "Marie-Therese" The Spanish branch of the Hapsburg Family is related to the Austrian Branch but there was a war (of the Spanish Succession) to prevent the two crowns merging.

So Yes Louis XV would be related to the various Emperors in power during his reign - but a bit tenuously.

This is all a bit handwavy sorry!

Why did the radical Legislative Assembly declare war on Austria and then Prussia in 1792?

In the year 1792, while the revolution in France was going on, Austria and Prussia had signed a declaration promising not to harm France's king Louis XVI. However, the people of France, who were against Louis were hostile toward their old Austrian enemies. They also despised Austria's king, Leopold II, Mary-Antoinette's brother and Holy Roman Emperor. The National Assembly declared war on Leopold which could easily have been avoided, and Fredrich William II, king of Prussia declared war on France, to help their ally.


Is Louis Napoleon a famous person?

Of a sort, as the little brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, as the husband of Hortense de Beauharnais who was the daughter of Empress Josephine and as the former King of Holland. Further, he was the father of Napoleon III the Emperor of France and 1st President of the French Republic in the future, he had adequate credentials to be considered as famous.---I think the above answer confuses Louis Napoleon with Louis Bonaparte. Louis Napoleon was Napoleon III, President of the Second Republic of France, and Emperor of France. He was famous.
