History

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.

How was life diffrent for men women and children in sparta compared to athens?
Radda [10]
From what I remember, children in Sparta were pushed towards military. If a child was found to be weak, then they were left for dead. In Athens, they were pushed towards academics and arts. I think that's the main difference.
