Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Montesquieu called the idea of dividing government power into three branches the "separation of powers."

24. What ultimately caused the drop in food production in France at the time?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

24. Drought, flooding rainfalls or severe frosts could wipe out an entire harvest in a major crop-growing region, driving up the demand for crops from other regions. France's food supplies were affected by poor harvests in 1769, 1770, 1775 and 1776.

25. Rising global average temperature is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns. Scientific studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves and large storms are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change. This chapter focuses on observed changes in temperature, precipitation, storms, floods, and droughts.
26. Bread was the staple food for most French citizens and vitally important to the working class people of the country.
27. Obviously, the causes of the revolution were far more complicated than the price of bread or unfair taxes on salt (just as the American Revolution was about more than tea tariffs), but both contributed to the rising anger toward the monarchy.
28. This had dramatic consequences. The winters were cold and they lasted for a long time. The summers stayed cool and there was an above-average amount of rain.
29. A number of ill-advised financial maneuvers in the late 1700s worsened the financial situation of the already cash-strapped French government. France's prolonged involvement in the Seven Years' War of 1756–1763 drained the treasury, as did the country's participation in the American Revolution of 1775–1783.
31. Throughout the 18th century, France faced a mounting economic crisis. A rapidly growing population had outpaced the food supply.
32. In 1994, American TV company PBS concluded that the French palace could have cost anywhere between $2-300 billion in today's money.
33. Throughout the 18th century, France faced a mounting economic crisis. A rapidly growing population had outpaced the food supply. A severe winter in 1788 resulted in famine and widespread starvation in the countryside. Rising prices in Paris brought bread riots.
34. French Revolution, also called Revolution of 1789, revolutionary movement that shook France between 1787 and 1799 and reached its first climax there in 1789—hence the conventional term “Revolution of 1789,” denoting the end of the ancien régime in France and serving also to distinguish that event from the later French revolutions of 1830 and 1848.

How did agricultural advances affect Chinese society during the Middle Ages?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

It resulted in more people moving to rural areas.

Explanation:

Improvements in farming machinery included, for example, the moldboard plow and watermill. Later, cotton planting and weaving technology were adopted and improved.

While around 750, 75% of China's population lived north of the river Yangtze, by 1250, 75% of population lived south the river. This migration was possible due to the introduction of quick-ripening strains of rice  from Vietnam suitable for multi-cropping.
