When Louis XIV was born, France celebrated as there would no fighting over the succession to the throne, but when Louis died, France was too tired and worn out from supporting his lavish lifestyle and endless wars all over Europe to care. If anything, the commoners were glad he was gone, but then came 1789…
Well, sure, but that took about 70 years. We don't have that long! (And that revolution spawned a whole new series of atrocities and amoral opportunists, so "meet the new boss, same as the old boss.")
LOL!
