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 causes and consequences of the wall street crash??
goblinko [34]
Financial experts warned the public the the American Economy is slowing down. With this warning in mind, investors started selling their shares in large numbers in September 1929. By 24th October 1929, 12.8 million shares were sold and another 16 million shares were sold at a very low price on 29th October 1929. The panic selling of shares lead to the collapse of the stock market in New York.

The aftermath of the wall street crash was very disastrous. Investors lost their money and was not able to pay off their debts. Many banks closed, leaving their depositors with no money nor hope for the future. Ordinary people lost their means to buy foods and other basic needs like shelter and clothes. Companies have to downsize resulting to firing of redundant workers and lowering the wages of the remaining workers. Unemployment rose to very high level.

The Wall Street Crash led to the beginning of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
