Answer:
The wretched extravagance of the French led to mounting debts and eventually the French Revolution.
Explanation:
During the 16th-17th Century, France was the most powerful European nation with a strong army, rich trading relations and huge political influence on the continent.
However, as the national became more wealthy the average person still lived in poverty. Peasants in the country-side could barely afford food while the aristocracy in Paris enjoy the life of luxury.
Eventually, the country began to run out of money and had to take on debt. Taxes were raised to compensate and increase the income of the state.
However, this resulted in a revolt and culminated in the overthrow of the French King.
The correct answer is:
D. Too many risky loans given out.
Explanation:
The economic crisis of 2008, which was one of the worst economic crisis in the world, began when too many risky loans were given out to people who couldn't afford to pay back so eventually the debts became bigger than the money available, leading the bank system to almost collapse.
Risky loans were given to people mainly when they wanted to buy a house, because mortgage brokers sold the risky mortgages with the good mortageges to investors and banks, and because the house market was rising everybody was making money, but the bubble broke out because families were not able to pay their mortgages because of the interest rates and as more credit was given the house prices started to fall, so there was a huge debt and no one to pay for it.
