These four items were issues that led to the French Revolution:

  • resentment toward French monarchy
  • an economic crisis in France
  • resentment toward social structures
  • heavy taxation of the business owners

Some details:

  • The French monarchy had been taking more power for itself over against the nobles, and so some of the nobles were looking for ways to reduce the power of the king.  Plus the new queen, Marie Antoinette, from Austria, was met with much personal resentment by the French people.
  • The economic crisis was essentially government bankruptcy.  The government had accumulated 4 billion livres worth of debt by 1789. 1 livre in their monetary terms then = approx. $4 in our monetary terms in the US today, so that’s a $16 billion national debt. 40% of the government’s budget was going to pay interest on debts. And it kept getting worse. France provided 1 billion livres of support to the Americans during their war for independence against Britain.  So, by  1786, government expenses were outpacing income by about 200 million livres in a year's time.  The debts kept piling on, and it was reaching a point when lenders were starting to say no to any further loans. The government had reached a position where it could not go forward without levying even more oppressive tax burdens on the people, and the people weren’t willing to pay.
  • As for social structures and taxation of business owners:  Prior to the French Revolution, the vast majority of the people (98% of the population), were all considered "the lower class" or "commoners," referred to as the 3rd Estate.  The clergy was classified as the 1st Estate.  Nobles were the 2nd Estate.  The 1st and 2nd Estates (ranking clergy and the nobility) tended to cooperate with each other to their own advantage over against the 3rd Estate.  The 1st and 2nd Estates were mostly tax exempt, with the 3rd Estate paying the fees and taxes that supported them and the monarchy.  Bourgeois merchant-class folks were also part of the 3rd Estate and had much more economic advantage than peasants, but that also meant they were taxed extremely heavily and continued to be slighted on political rights.

Which of these was a reason that great Zimbabwe was abandoned around 1450 A.D.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

All of the above!

Explanation:

Evidence of Stone Age cultures dating back 100,000 years has been found, and it is thought that the San people, now living mostly in the Kalahari Desert, are the descendants of Zimbabwe's original inhabitants. The remains of iron working cultures that date back to AD 300 have been discovered. Little is known of the early iron workers, but it is believed that they were farmers, herdsmen, and hunters who lived in small groups. They put pressure on the San by gradually taking over the land. With the arrival of the Bantu-speaking Shona from the north between the 10th and 11th centuries AD , the San were driven out or killed, and the early iron workers were incorporated into the invading groups. The Shona gradually developed gold and ivory trade with the coast, and by the mid-15th century had established a strong empire, with its capital at the ancient city of Zimbabwe. This empire, known as Munhumutapa, split by the end of the century, the southern part becoming the Urozwi Empire, which flourished for two centuries.
