What was a result of Louis XIV's rule in?

Answer 1

The Huguenots fled France.

Other countries adopted absolutism.

It began the slow but steady movement from a wealthy European Nation to a debtor Nation. This position was advanced under Louis XV and was made even worse as a result of the Seven Years Wars and the French aid to the United States during the American Revolution under the leadership of King Louis XVI. By 1789 the National debt had developed into a crisis which became the French Revolution.

It should be noted that France became a patron of the Arts and of Architecture during his reign, and remains a leader in that cultural arena even today.
