Louis XIV reigned for an amazing 72 years, so anyone who succeeded him was going to be compared to him. He left the country with some serious economic problems, after a number of conflicts and wars; his successor (Louis XV) was unable to fix France's economic issues. Further, Louis XIV had a different style from his successor-- Louis XIV believed in an absolute monarchy, while Louis XV was more willing to make compromises, even returning some conquered territory; critics said his policies led to the weakening of the monarchy. Some scholars believe Louis XV's decisions also damaged France's power in the world, and weakened the treasury.
