The difference between Louis XVI and Peter I is that Peter introduced Westernization to Russia, while Louis failed in his attempt to evolve the monarchy of France.
Peter I (1672-1725) was a Russian ruler who ruled between 1682 - 1696. During this period he stood out for belonging to the Romanov Dynasty and implementing a process of modernization through Westernization and expansion that transformed Russia into an of the main European powers.
On the other hand, Louis XVI of France (1754 - 1793) was the last king of monarchical France. He stood out because he wanted to implement government reforms in France such as:
- Abolish servitude
- Elimination of property tax
- Obligation to work without pay for the feudal lord
- Increased tolerance towards non-Catholics and
- Abolition of the death penalty for deserters.
However, these measures caused rejection in the middle and upper class. Later on, his support for the Americans in the war of independence against the United Kingdom caused a waste of money that was evidenced in a wide famine and social discontent that led to the abolition of the monarchy and to be sentenced to death in the guillotine
According to the above, it can be inferred that both rulers had different governments because PeTER was one of the most prominent rulers of Russia, while Louis unleashed an economic crisis that affected his government and led to the abolition of the monarchy.
