Bavaria - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (2155 words) |
 | Bavaria has long been a bastion of conservative politics in Germany, with the Christian Social Union having almost a stranglehold on power since its inception in 1946. |
| Bavaria became a kingdom in 1806, and in 1815 the Rhenish Palatinate was annexed to it. |
| Bavaria managed to preserve its independence by playing off the rivalries of Prussia and Austria, but defeat in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War led to its incorporation into the German Empire in 1871. |
| Louis I Of Bavaria - LoveToKnow 1911 (1855 words) |
| LOUIS I., king of Bavaria (1786-1868), son of the then prince, afterwards duke and elector, Max Joseph of Zweibriicken and his wife Princess Augusta of Hesse-Darmstadt (-1796), was born at Strassburg on the 25th of August 1786. |
| Bavaria's power of self-defence especially was weakened by his economies and by his lack of interest in the military aspect of things. |
| Temporary diplomatic complications arose between Bavaria and Baden in connexion with Louis's favourite project of winning back the part then belonging to Baden of the old Palatinate, the land of his birth, which was always very dear to him. |
