In the first segment of my lecture on the Wars of Louis XIV, I discuss Louis' motivations for going to war and give a brief overview of the War of Devolution, the Franco-Dutch War, and the Nine Years' War (with the most attention given to the Franco-Dutch War).

In the next segment, I will discuss the War of the Spanish Succession, with emphasis on its causes and consequences.

Louis XIV is an AP Euro god.
