Absolutism II
Absolutism is a form of monarchy where the ruler exercises total control over the government without limits or restraints. Absolute rulers claimed that their power came from God. In France, Louis XIV strengthened the monarchy and centralized power, weakening the nobility and persecuting Huguenots. His extravagant lifestyle and costly wars drained the treasury and economy, contributing to the decline of French absolutism. In England, conflicts between monarchs and Parliament led to civil war and the execution of Charles I, establishing Parliament's supremacy over the king and creating a limited constitutional monarchy.
Religious Crises in Europe

This caused conflict between those who wanted France or Austria to control Spain. Ultimately, the will of Charles II named a grandson of Louis XIV as the new King of Spain, starting the Bourbon line and leading to war between France and an alliance of European powers known as the Grand Alliance.
French Wars of Religion

The French Wars of Religion were a series of armed conflicts between French Catholics and Huguenots (Calvinists) in the sixteenth century. The Catholic faction was led by Catherine de Medici and the Huguenots were led by Henry of Navarre, who would later become Henry IV of France. Upon becoming king, Henry converted to Catholicism ("Paris is worth a Mass.") and issued the Edict of Nantes, which granted Huguenots limited toleration and rights to practice their religion openly in certain cities.
21 2 the reign of louis xiv
After a century of war and religious conflict, France was ruled by the powerful King Louis XIV. He increased the authority of the monarchy by weakening the nobility and limiting Huguenots' freedoms. Louis lived lavishly and built the magnificent Palace of Versailles to demonstrate his wealth and power. However, his attempts to expand France's borders through warfare in the late 1600s weakened the country economically and led to heavy debts by the end of his reign.

The French Revolution lasted from 1789 to 1799, transforming France from a monarchy ruled by King Louis XVI to a republic. This period saw the establishment of a constitutional monarchy followed by increasingly radical governments under Robespierre and the Directory. Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power as a military leader, becoming the emperor of France, though the nations he conquered resented French rule and rebelled.
The French Revolution
The French Revolution began in 1788 as King Louis XVI called the Estates-General due to France's bankrupt treasury. This led to conflict between the three estates of French society, and the formation of the National Assembly to represent citizens more equally. On July 14, 1789, the storming of the Bastille fortress by Parisians symbolized the people's growing discontent with the absolute monarchy. The Revolution then spread violence and turmoil across France as radical factions gained influence and instituted the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, sending thousands to the guillotine until his own execution in 1794. The monarchy was abolished, leaving France a democratic republic but still unstable amid conflict with other European nations.
Unit 4 French Revolution and Napoleon Empire
The document summarizes key events of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1793. It describes the causes of the revolution, including the influence of Enlightenment ideas, the monarchy's financial crisis, and tensions between the three estates. It outlines major developments like the storming of the Bastille, the establishment of the National Assembly, adoption of the Declaration of Rights of Man, and King Louis XVI's failed escape. It also discusses the shift to more radical rule by the Jacobins and Robespierre's dictatorship known as the Reign of Terror.
