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.

What were the major causes for the decline of the u.s. economy during the 1970s?

melamori03 [73]

First the capitalist world was in the great economic depression.
Second "decline” took place in the 1970s and 80s during which the international competitiveness of U.S. commodities and capital decreased drastically.
Third “decline” occurred during the recent financial crisis.


Reasons Why

* first two “declines”, the United States entered a new stage of economic growth through reform and innovation. There are still lots of uncertainties whether the U.S. economy would be able to recover this time, but it seems certain that one, the United States has fallen from the peak of economic hegemony and it is unable to change the trend of plural development of the world economy in the 21st century even if its economy could resurge, and two, the U.S. economy remains strong and will witness a fairly long period of development in the wake of fresh scientific and technological revolution.

What diplomatic problem did the French Revolution and the war that followed pose for the United States? How did Washington and C

Amanda [17]

Congress was split, as the French had helped the young United States during the Revolutionary War, however, many where confused what direction the revolution was going (spoiler alert, the French Revolution traded a monarchy for a dictatorship with Napoleon at the helm - so it didin't accomplish a whole lot).

Although both parties(the Democratic-Republicans and Federalists) had different hopes for the french revolution, they both agreed that war would be economically not possible and would possibly open the U.S up to attack, so the U.S remained neutral.

What did the colonists form in 1772 to keep themselves informed of possible british action?

Vilka [71]

I believe it would be the spy system. During the war, some americans were for and against the war and independence. To keep in the know of what the british were planning, there was an elaborate spy system to spread information on the british troops where people acted as they were for british rule. :)
