The French and Indian War was fought in the 1750s and 1760s between Britain and France, along with their colonies in North America. Each side also had Native American allies. The British were victorious in this war.
We know that A is wrong, because the British colonists were the ones who started the American Revolution a few years later, so we know they weren't driven out of North America by the French.
We also know that C is wrong, since the French definitely <em>lost</em> the French and Indian War, though the Treaty of Paris was indeed the document that was signed to end the war.
And D is not exactly correct, mostly because it's too vague. Many Native American tribes helped the British fight the French, and were therefore partly responsible for the driving out the French, but the question doesn't state any Native Americans in particular. Remember that other Native Americans fought on the side of the French.
B is the best answer, even though it's not 100% correct. For one, French <em>people</em> were not driven from North America (thousands and thousands of French-speaking people still live in eastern Canada!), though the French <em>government</em> was <em>mostly</em> (though not entirely) driven out of North America. The French were allowed to keep two small islands off the coast of the Canadian island of Newfoundland. These islands, called Saint Pierre and Miquelon, actually still belong to France, and if you were to go there you wouldn't see the Canadian flag, but the French flag, and you would have to use Euros instead of Canadian dollars.
Well, they were basically forced to. Or rather they did not see much choice in the matter
I agree good. Need more detail though.
Answer:
After the Dark Age, the city-state of Athens abandoned its monarchy. In the place of its kings, it established a council of archons. (An archon was a leader elected from the aristocracy.) The council consisted of three archons: archon eponymous, polemarch and archon basileus. The archon eponymous acted as the chief judge or magistrate. The polemarch was head of the armed forces, and the archon basileus acted as a head priest, managing the religious activities of Athens.
As an oligarchy, Athens experienced many social problems. The lower classes rebelled against the unfair treatment that they received from the aristocracy. In order to deal with the rising crime, a strict set of laws were issued by the archon eponymous Draco in 621 BC. (The term draconian, meaning harsh or oppressive, comes from Draco's name.) The laws demanded strict punishment for offenses. Minor violent offenses were punished with death. Men that could not pay off their debts were forced into slavery. However, Draco's "Bloody Laws" only made the social problems of Athens worse.
In 594 BC, an aristocrat named Solon was elected archon eponymous. He did much to help ease the tension between the upper and lower classes. One of the most important changes that Solon made to the government of Athens was that he allowed all male citizens over 18 years of age to participate in the Assembly. This granted political power to all classes of people for the first time in Greek history!
So to sum it all up, overtime the Athenians developed a democratic government! :)
