--> They left to go to England and the Dutch which ultimatley strengthened their economies.
--> The French army lost 600 officers, 12,000 troops and 9,000 sailors. This weakened France's defensive positions.
--> Protestant states saw the revocation as a declaration of war against Protestant Europe.
--> Alliances of Louis strengthened; League of Augsburg
--> The revocation damaged the prestige of the catholic church
--> Revolt of the Camisards showed protestantism in France hasn't been abolished
