Answer 2

The correct answers are A) the lavish spending of the royal court and B) aid given to the American colonists.

What contributed to France's financial crisis in the late 1700s was the lavish spending of the royal court and the aid given to the American colonists.

French people lived in poverty under the King's will, when he lavishly spent money on luxurious things and parties with the court. Another problem was the support that the government of France had given to the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War against Britain. France was in a huge debt. Things got worse and injustices, lack of rights and poverty were some of the causes that initiated the French Revolution.
