How did the Age of Absolutism help France to become a territorial empire?

History

Natalija [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The Age of Absolutism refers to period in French history where the Monarch has Absolute power over the country and all it's resources.

Explanation:

An example is that of Napoleon Bonaparte or Louis the 16th. As absolute Monarchy, there were increases in taxation to not only help build a powerful army but also to fund the lavish lifestyles of these kings.

A king would also influence the local religion and social customs that would sometimes out them in odds with other religiously motivated monarchs in Europe.

As tensions grew and the government expenditure grew even larger, a war and territorial gain would be seen as the best way to not only increase power but eventually generate more revenue.

This was in stark contrast to smaller countries in Europe, especially modern-day Belgium or Germany where the power of the King was gradually decreasing.

They could neither build an army as big as France's and did not have the will to do so.

Hence, during this time, the French were able to annex millions of acres of new land and build the largest territorial Empire in Europe.

15. What are Aaron Burr's two conspiracies?<br> What are the results of each?
alexira [117]

Answer:The Burr conspiracy was a plot alleged to have been planned by Aaron Burr in the years during and after his term as Vice President of the United States under US President Thomas Jefferson. According to the accusations against Burr, he attempted to use his international connections and support from a cabal of US planters, politicians, and army officers to establish an independent country in the Southwestern United States and parts of Mexico. Burr's version was that he intended to farm 40,000 acres (160 km2) in the Texas Territory which had been leased to him by the Spanish Crown.

In February 1808, Burr was arrested on Jefferson's orders and indicted for treason, despite a lack of firm evidence. While Burr was ultimately acquitted of treason due to the specificity of the US Constitution, the fiasco further destroyed his already faltering political career. Effigies of his likeness were burned throughout the country and the threat of additional charges from individual states forced him into exile in Europe.[1]

Burr's true intentions remain unclear and, as a result, have led to varying theories from historians: some claim that he intended to take parts of Texas and the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase for himself, while others believe he intended to conquer Mexico or even the entirety of North America. The number of men backing him is also unclear, with accounts ranging from fewer than 40 men to upwards of 7,000

Answer:

B. to make money from government-owned businesses

Explanation:

Politics was never a business. It is not a purpose of a government official to gain profit from the people in a territory. As what a famous line says, "A government should be: of the people, by the people, and for the people."
