Why did Louis XIV's attempt to dominate Europe finally fail?

Although Louis XIV's autocratic rule and highly centralized centralization brought disaster to France, it also played a certain role in promoting the development of French history.

France once made considerable achievements in trade and industry, and the bourgeoisie began to gain a foothold in the economy. Strong French military strength and aggressive expansion policy made him among the European powers in the17th century. However, during his 55 years in power, he struggled for 32 years. Continuous wars and luxurious court life consumed a lot of property, which made France's human and financial resources increasingly exhausted. The untimely implementation of autocratic rules and regulations in the economic field led to the depression of industry and commerce, and the persecution of pagans drove hundreds of thousands of Protestants-skilled craftsmen, wealthy businessmen and factory owners to flee abroad, which indirectly led to the depression of industry and commerce. In order to supplement the army, people were forced to leave their homes and go to other places to fight irregularly without drawing lots. In order to expand financial resources, we try our best to set up various new exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees. Poor harvest, famine and plague further aggravated the economic bankruptcy of people, especially farmers, caused by business tax.

During the reign of Louis XIV, although France was once powerful, it was based on the cruel oppression of the people, and the people were always in dire straits. As early as 1662, peasants and civilians rioted and demanded the abolition of taxes and feudal obligations. By the end of Louis XIV's reign, domestic uprisings were frequent, growing in momentum and lasting longer and longer. In Gasconi (1664), there were successively great uprisings in Rousile (1666- 1669), Saihong and Brittany (1674- 1675). After the succession of the Spanish throne, the tax revenue increased sharply and the uprising was even higher. The most influential was the "Camuzat Er" uprising in Sewenshan District of languedoc County. The uprising began in 1707, which was caused by the cruel persecution against Calvinists, but in essence it was an anti-feudal struggle between farmers and the poor. The uprising was large-scale, and guerrillas were organized, covering a wide range. Defeated the king's army many times. Louis XIV assembled a large number of troops and was suppressed after three years of siege and interception. It is shocking that a large number of rebels were brutally killed.

In the second half of Louis XIV, the people's uprising, military failure, empty treasury, agricultural decline, industrial and commercial bankruptcy, weakened imperial power, lost people's hearts, and feudal autocracy declined day by day. 17 15 years, Louis the Great, who once dominated the party, died amid complaints from everyone.
