Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790, implemented an enlightened absolutist government characterized by significant reforms aimed at modernizing the Habsburg Empire. He sought to centralize power, reduce the influence of the Catholic Church, and promote religious tolerance, including the recognition of Protestant and Jewish rights. His policies included administrative and legal reforms, the abolition of serfdom, and efforts to improve education and economic development. However, many of his reforms faced resistance and were only partially successful, leading to challenges in governance and popular discontent.
