France under Louis XV, Louis XIV's grandson, …
Years: 1756 - 1767
France under Louis XV, Louis XIV's grandson, loses New France and most of its possessions in India after its defeat in the Seven Years' War, which ends in 1763.
Its European territory keeps growing, however, with notable acquisitions such as Lorraine (1766) and Corsica (1770).
An unpopular king, Louis XV's weak rule, his ill-advised financial, political and military decisions—as well as the debauchery of his court—discredits the monarchy, which arguably paves the way for the French Revolution fifteen years after his death.
