I remember reading the book on this the attack that ended the Japans rein on Alaska was the Kiska battle which the Japanese have fought in the think fog with smokeless powder so the Americans and Canadians couldnt see them but the Japanese saw the Americans and the Canadians. The Japanese follow the Bushido code which was t<span>he unwritten Samurai </span>code<span> of conduct, known as </span>Bushido<span>, held that the true warrior must hold that loyalty, courage, veracity, compassion, and honor as important, above all else. An appreciation and respect of life was also imperative, as it added balance to the warrior character of the Samurai. So the Japanese took their grenades and took the pins out...hit it against their helmets...and held it against their chests or heads because they did not want to go back to Japan they technically couldn't because it would be dishonor. So it all ended with mass suicide and the two Atom Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.</span>
They entered on the side of the Allies. (Britain, Russia ECT) to oppose the Axis Powers. (Japan, Germany, Italy)
Power is transferred in absolute monarchy by the death or overthrowing of the current leader.
I can't really answer your question (as I don't really know enough about 18th century France), but I just want to clear up an (understandable) misconception about Feudalism in your question.
The French revolution was adamant and explicit in its abolition of 'feudalism'. However, the 'feudalism' it was talking about had nothing at all to do with medieval 'feudalism' (which, of course, never existed). What the revolutionaries had in mind, in my own understanding of it, was the legally privileged position of the aristocracy/2nd estate. This type of 'feudalism' was a creation of early modern lawyers and, as a result, is better seen as a product of the early-modern monarchical nation-state, than as a precursor to it. It has nothing to do with the pre-nation-state medieval period, or with the Crusades.
Eighteenth-century buffs, feel free to chip in if I've misrepresented anything, as this is mostly coming from my readings about the historiographical development of feudalism, not any revolutionary France expertise, so I may well have misinterpreted things.
Russia attacks the ottoman Empire to try and gain access to the sea. France and Britain side against Russia. ... Austria now has no allies in Europe.
