  • Whereas his predecessor had been hated for his attempts to sell out Bavaria, his wastefulness and for his reactionary policies, Maximilian Joseph would vehemently defend his country’s sovereignty and try to reform it into an efficient and liberal state. Trapped between the French and Austrians he was soon dragged in to the Napoleonic wars and would for a long time be the most faithful of Napoleon's German allies. Although Bonaparte was eventually defeated, Max emerged from the Congress of Vienna having protected his country's independence and gained the title of king.

    To think his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais could become king of Italy, he ended up being the best new royal created by Napoleon. It's not a coincidence Maximilian didn't turn his back on him, not only because he married his daughter but because he had proven his value 🧐

    Napoleon looks at the map of the Holy Roman Empire: "Sacre Bleu! These borders don't make any sense! What's with all the enclaves and exclaves? 🤨 Talleyrand, bring my ruler 📐, it's time to implement the metric system in Germany. " 😏

    16:15 That is not the former univerity building in Ingolstadt. That is the Episcopal Summer Residence in Eichstätt, which today is part of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. I can understand that you misplaced it though.
    Good video nonetheless

    • @sizanogreen9900

      the problem is that a good king can't guarantee a capable successor, but looking at modern day governments including most democracies a monarchy limited by laws and a reasonably strong parliament would perhaps not be the worst of governments I reckon.
      Also in regards to Ludwig II, he was given a lot of bad press because the people driving him from power needed him to be portraied as insane to justify their takeover.
      Sure he wasn't the best king but throughout history there have been much worse and looking at his architecural folly even this has turned out to have been a good long term investment just factoring in tourism. Had he been allowed to build for maybe one more decade bavaria may have been saddled with debts, but the architectural treasures that would have been added to its landscape would no doubt rival Neuschwanstein in renown.
