The Carolingian Empire covered much of the Western and Central Europe but it collapsed in less than hundred years after the death of Charlemagne in 814. Several factors led to the fall of the Carolingian Empire. The division of Frankish lands among the male members of the Carolingian dynasty was a major factor. The Carolingians extended their rule over most Western and Central Europe in less than one half of a century and became regarded as the renewers of the Roman Empire after the Imperial coronation of Charlemagne in 800. The Carolingian Empire achieved its greatest territorial extent during the reign of Charlemagne (768-814) who added Lombardy, Saxony, Danubian Plain and Spanish March to the Realm of the Franks. However, Charlemagne’s empire started to decline already under his successor Louis the Pious (814-840) and collapsed by the end of the 9th century.
New england was considered to have the poorest economy in the early colonial days
Nixon's New Federalism was focused on giving more power to the state governments.
Nixon believed that ever since the Great Deal, implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the federal government had too much control over the states and how they spent their money. In his New Federalism program, Nixon advocated for a smaller federal government by giving state governments grants of money and letting them decide how to use it.
I believe that the three countries which were fighting for control over North America were England, Spain, and France.
All of these countries wanted to have a piece of this new continent they accidentally discovered. Somehow, France got the northern parts (Canada especially), Spain got the southern parts (especially Mexico), and England got the middle.
