AnswerLouis XV was the King of France and had Louis XVI (his grandson) as his successor. Louis XVI was only 19 years of age when he became King of France (his grandfather Louis XV had died of smallpox). Louis XVI, unlike his two younger brothers, never wanted to become King of France. He was very decisive less and shy, wanted nothing but the best for his French people, but did not know how to reign his country best.

Therefore, during Louis XIV's and Louis XV's reign, a horrible debt in the countries finances was created (400 million livres!), which was the legacy to Louis XVI. The latter never could set that straight again and was eventually guillotined for it.

Louis XIV was the Sun King, le Roi Soleil. His reign was studded with success and glamour. It was he who built Versailles, a palace unrivalled before or since. He made France the dominant European power, but in doing so, as stated above, he bankrupted the state. When Louis XVI came to the throne he inherited not the glamour, but the debt, and could not successfully run his country. However, the reign of the Sun King (so-called to associate with Apollo - the Sun was the King's emblem) was not solely responsible for the failure and execution of Louis XVI

Who was caligulas successor?

With the death of Caligula and the bad experience of his rule behind them, many senators considered exchanging rule by dynasty for the return to a republic. While the Senate discussed this possibility, the Praetorian Guard -- an institution of violence -- searched for a credible successor to Caligula. The guardsmen found him in Caligula's uncle, Claudius, the brother of Germanicus and a familiar figure within Augustus' family. Claudius rewarded the Guard with money for their support. Discussions in the Senate about the problems of succession and a republic came to an end, affecting Europe into modern times.

What was the effect of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is elected president of France and later since the title of Emperor Napoleon three?

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's election as President of France in 1848 marked a significant shift towards authoritarian rule, as he sought to consolidate power and gain popular support. His later declaration as Emperor Napoleon III in 1852 established the Second French Empire, which brought stability and modernization to France through infrastructure projects and economic growth. However, his regime was also characterized by censorship and repression of dissent, ultimately leading to a decline in democratic freedoms. His rule ended with military defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, leading to the establishment of the Third Republic.
