To what extent did feudalism contribute to the french revolution

History
1 answer:
Leto [7]2 years ago
7 0

I can't really answer your question (as I don't really know enough about 18th century France), but I just want to clear up an (understandable) misconception about Feudalism in your question.

The French revolution was adamant and explicit in its abolition of 'feudalism'. However, the 'feudalism' it was talking about had nothing at all to do with medieval 'feudalism' (which, of course, never existed). What the revolutionaries had in mind, in my own understanding of it, was the legally privileged position of the aristocracy/2nd estate. This type of 'feudalism' was a creation of early modern lawyers and, as a result, is better seen as a product of the early-modern monarchical nation-state, than as a precursor to it. It has nothing to do with the pre-nation-state medieval period, or with the Crusades.

Eighteenth-century buffs, feel free to chip in if I've misrepresented anything, as this is mostly coming from my readings about the historiographical development of feudalism, not any revolutionary France expertise, so I may well have misinterpreted things.

Match the device with the improvement it brings.
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Cell phone - convenient communication

Industrial robot - reduction of human work-load

Power tool - faster construction

Explanation:

The cell phone one is obvious. Not so obvious is which of the remaining two goes with which. The industrial robot goes with less human work becasue industrial implies a factory, and robot means it is probably replacing humans. The remaining two also make sense together,  because power tools do make construction much faster.

Answer:

The effect of America joining the war was massive. America joining the war allowed for the Allies to win the war. With the Russian front closed, and the remaining might of the German Empire pressing against the western front, The Allies, as well as the axis, were exhausted. The economies of countries everywhere were suffering... except America. The ocean allowed for America to be isolated from the war. The American entry won the war
