What did King Louis the XIV use the Palace of Versailles for?
After an unpleasant experience with mobs as a child, Louis XIV hated Paris with its crowds. Versailles was a place were he could be away from the dangerous mobs and enjoy the scenery. Secondly, under Louis XIV France was flourishing. It is not for nothing that this Louis is referred to as the Sun King. Versailles was a place to stun Europe, unrivalled in size, decoration, cost and splendour. It was the Jewel of France and it made clear that France was a powerful state with few rivals. Thirdly, Louis forced most of his nobles to have apartments in Versailles - Its size enabled him to do so. This meant that all the nobles were under his eye and away from their own lands, reducing significantly the risk of them revolting against him. Lastly, it suited his own personal sense of majesty and drama. King Louis XIV was the Sun of Versailles - it revolved around him. The entire complex was a place where his every move could take place in a suitably grand setting. Therefore, Louis XIV used Versailles as his headquarters. It was the centre of Government in France and a stage where the French and foreigners could witness the power, wealth and majesty of the Sun King.
Who succeeded Napoleon III?
Louis XVIII, the brother of Louis XVI proclaimed himself King despite claims that Louis XVI had written papers shortly before his execution and given them to his lawyer, accusing his brother of having betrayed the royal cause out of personal ambition and barring him from the succession to the throne. (The comte du Provence, who had always been jealous of Louis XVI because he wanted to be King and thought he'd make a much better King than Louis XVI would be. He betrayed his brother Louis XVI horribly during his reign.) After Napoleon's domination of Europe from around 1800 to 1814, the rulers of Europe wanted to insure that no one would ever be able to come so close to taking over all of Europe again. To this end, the diplomats from all of the Great Powers met at the Congress of Vienna to negotiate from 1814 to 1815. There they reorganized European boundaries in hopes of creating a stable Europe where coalitions of nations could always ally to defeat one nation that got out of hand. The rulers after Napoleon were dedicated to stopping revolution (like the French Revolution in their own countries). Louis XVIII, whose brother Louis XVI had been executed during the French Revolution, certainly didn't want another revolution in France.
