Maximilian Joseph: The First King of Bavaria

Whereas his predecessor had been hated for his attempts to sell out Bavaria, his wastefulness and for his reactionary policies, Maximilian Joseph would vehemently defend his country’s sovereignty and try to reform it into an efficient and liberal state. Trapped between the French and Austrians he was soon dragged in to the Napoleonic wars and would for a long time be the most faithful of Napoleon's German allies. Although Bonaparte was eventually defeated, Max emerged from the Congress of Vienna having protected his country's independence and gained the title of king.
