Question

Which three of the following French monarchs are correctly paired with a major achievement of their reign?

a) Louis XIV - Palace of Versailles
b) Marie Antoinette - Storming of the Bastille
c) Napoleon Bonaparte - Battle of Waterloo
d) Henry IV - French Revolution

Answer 1

Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon Bonaparte fought at the Battle of Waterloo, and Henry IV ruled before the French Revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three correctly paired French monarchs with a major achievement of their reign are:

1. Louis XIV - Palace of Versailles: During his reign, Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles, a symbol of his absolute power and the grandeur of the French monarchy. The palace contained 700 rooms, extensive gardens, and lavish decoration.
2. Napoleon Bonaparte - Battle of Waterloo: One of Napoleon's major achievements was his military success, but the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 marked his final defeat and the end of his reign.
3. Henry IV - French Revolution: This is an incorrect pairing. Henry IV ruled France from 1589 to 1610, long before the French Revolution that took place in the late 18th century.
