History One-Pager
This one-pager was done in Pre-A.P. World History. The objective is turning an essay pre-write into a visual in which there are facts and pictured that explains the thesis. I put this work in here because it was one of my best one-pager assignments and I was able to think freely in the process of making this. This is included in my portfolio because I wanted to show that I can organize things and put them into use by using all my information to support a main idea. The assignment’s tough part was when I had to search for pictures and find a timeline that would help support my argument.

The Sovereignty of King Louis 14th
Thesis: The 72 reign of Kind Louis the 14th was distinguished by varied economic results, political objectives, and a finely tuned cultural achievement.
“I am the state” Kind Louis14th
“The scene has changed. In the government of my realm ...I shall have other principles than those of the late cardinal. You know my wishes, gentlemen; it now remains for you to execute.” King Louis 14th
“He marked well absentees from the Court, found out the reason of their reason of their absence, and never lost an opportunity of acting of toward them as the occasion might seem to justify…When their names were in any way mention, “I do not know them,” the King would reply haughtily.” Duck of Saint-Simon

Time Line:
1638: King Louis 14th is born
1648: Cardinal Mazarin’s greatest triumph came with the ending of Thirty Years War.
1648-1653: Anti-Mazarin riots destroyed France and broke France Apart.
1661: Cardinal Mazarin dies and Louis takes control at the age of 23.
1661: The starting of the building of Versailles. It took about 40 years to complete.
1667: Louis invaded Spanish Netherlands and seized 12 towns.
1672: Louis invaded Dutch Netherlands but failed to capture anything because Dutch flooded the countryside like they did to Spain.
1685: Louis 14th takes out the Edict of Nantes which preserved the religious freedom of Huguenots.
1689: William of Orange became king of England and joined the League of Augsburg, which was equivalent to France’s power.
1701: The War of Spanish Succession began.
1715: Kind Louis the 14th dies in his bed.
The Atom: The Atom is the center of the tiny universe world. It is the center of all matter and everything basically is composed of atoms. King Louis’s subjects revolved all around him. He was the power that every body needed. The atom is the key to making molecules and compounds. King Louis was the key to keeping all his power absolute and keeping the nobles in check.
I believe that King Louis the 14th over used his absolute monarchy power and that he should have been cautious about invading other nations.
I believe that what he has done for France affected almost all of the European society but terms of ruling and a new way of thinking.
