Louis XIV was king of France for 72 years, longest of all the kings of France (although I guess the first couple of years barely count) and reached the age of 76, which was pretty old in those days, even for a king. He was one of the most brilliant rulers of France, but his policies were some of the causes of the French revolution decades later. So what if he lived and ruled a couple of years less, lets say 20 years or so. Lets say Louis XIV dies just after the treaty of Ryswick (so not to intervene in the War of the Grand Alliance)*. What would be the results for France and the rest of Europe (or even the world)?
