The storming of the Bastille was caused by multiple reasons that were building up in the French society for some time. France was in a bad situation. The economy was in dire state, largely because of the bad policies and the French intervention in the United States. The aristocracy was acting terribly towards the ordinary people who were suffering and in the verge of survival.

After the initial few attempts failed to reason the king to make certain reforms and to improve the countries situation and the situation of the people in it, the French people decided that enough is enough and that they will take things into their own hands.

The medieval castle, also a prison, and a symbol of the aristocracy of France, Bastille, got broken into it by the people. They released the prisoners who were sentenced because of refusal to shoot at the citizens.

The ordinary people outnumber the aristocracy by far, as the aristocracy was only 2% of the population, so the people, united, managed to take down the king and the aristocracy with relative ease.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The Founding Fathers of the United States were the political leaders who signed the United States Declaration of Independence, participated in the American Revolution or contributed to the drafting of the United States Constitution a few years later. Among them, they emphasize by their historical importance Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, James Madison, Thomas Paine and Alexander Hamilton.

These men were characterized mainly by sharing among themselves a series of political and social values, which were the pillars on which the bases of the United States of America were created as a nation.

Mainly, the Founding Fathers shared liberal thoughts. They believed in freedom as the basis of all civil law and political ideology. In addition, the concept of democracy was detached from freedom, as opposed to British monarchical despotism. To avoid this, the establishment of a republic, governed by its citizens, was proposed.

Is the Dollar Diplomacy and the Open Door Policy examples of imperialism? Why or why not? (explain)
ladessa [460]

Answer:Dollar Diplomacy and open door policy are form of imperialism based on the imposition by the U.S on other countries through the policies implementation.

Explanation:

The open-door policy of 1899 can be seen as a form of imperialism because it was the United States of American who drafted both the open door policy and the dollar diplomacy to control the economy of the world. The U.S stated that the open policy was to curtail and give a form of protection and the same opportunities to all countries that trade with China.

The dollar diplomacy can also be seen in the form of imperialism because the main reasons the United States is doing it was to reduce the number of treat pose to these countries through military force but rather join forces with Latin America and Asia to develop their economy through loans and other financial means.
