Louis XVI of France ruled from 1774 until the monarchy was abolished in 1792. He tried to reform the government in accordance with Enlightenment principles, such as economic deregulation and backing the American Revolution. However, he faced resistance from the nobility and increasing unrest among the common people. Louis’s hesitation and conservative stance diminished his support. His failed escape and connections to foreign interference damaged his reputation, resulting in his arrest, trial, and execution in 1793, which brought an end to the French monarchy.
