Invasion War Kings
Can someone give me details on king louis XIV's reign? ?
I just want like a summary of his invasions and the war of succession. Please NO links 
thank you.
Louis’ military excursions can be neatly separated into four distinct conflicts:
1. the War of Devolution with Spain
When Philip IV of Spain died in 1665, Louis seized the opportunity to invade the Spanish Netherlands (present-day Belgium) and the Franche-Comté (now Burgundy). Both provinces were more French than Spanish. Louis cited his wife’s ‘claim’ to those lands, since she was the daughter of the deceased Spanish king.
2. the Dutch War
England, agreed to an alliance with France. Louis then confidently invaded the Netherlands on April 29, 1672. The Dutch, however, proved to be tougher opponents than the Spanish had been.
In August 1678, the war finally ended with the signing of the Treaty of Nijmegen.
3. the War of the Palatinate and the War of the Spanish Succession–the last of which might be called the first truly global conflict of the modern age. In 1686, a coalition, known as the League of Augsburg, began to form against Louis. It included England, Netherlands, Spain, Savoy, Sweden and the Hapsburg Empire.
Aware of impending war, Louis struck first, invading the Palatinate
By 1697, Louis had had enough and concluded the Treaty of Rijswijk, in which France returned everything she had taken since the Treaty of Nijmegen–Lorraine, Catalonia, Flanders, Luxembourg, the Rhine fortresses–with the exceptions of Strasbourg and the Alsatian territories.
The war of succession
The precarious health of the childless King Charles II of Spain left the succession open to the claims of three principal pretenders—Louis XIV, in behalf of his eldest son, a grandson of King Philip IV of Spain through Philip's daughter, Marie Thérèse, to whom Louis XIV had been married; the electoral prince of Bavaria, Joseph Ferdinand, a great-grandson of Philip IV; and Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who had married a younger daughter of Philip IV, but claimed the succession in behalf of his son by a second marriage, Archduke Charles
England and Holland, although willing to recognize Philip as king of Spain, were antagonized by France's growing commercial competition. The French commercial threat, the reservation of Philip's right of succession to the French crown (Dec., 1700), and the French occupation of border fortresses between the Dutch and the Spanish Netherlands (Feb., 1701) led to an anti-French alliance among England, Leopold, and the Dutch. In 1713, France, England, and Holland signed the Peace of Utrecht. Charles VI continued the war, although Eugene had been defeated (1712) at Denain and had been forced to retreat in the Spanish Netherlands. Seriously weakened by the defection of his allies, the emperor finally consented in 1714 to the treaties of Rastatt and of Baden, which complemented the general settlement (see Utrecht, Peace of). With this settlement, the principle of a balance of power took precedence over dynastic or national rights in the negotiation of European affairs.
