12. One of the reasons that King Ludwig II was removed from power was because he had spent Bavaria into bankruptcy with the building of his elaborate castles.
True or False? (1 point)

False - (Ludwig never spent his country's money on any of the castles he was building. As King he received a stipend from his country and that's what he used to finance his building projects. He was also spending his family's (the Wittelsbachs') amassed fortune that had accumulated over the centuries. The plot to have Ludwig declared insane was (in large part) brought about by the fact that he was spending his family's fortune and that was the only way they could get rid of him. Bavaria never went bankrupt. Ever.)
