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

History

Natalija [7]3 years ago
7 0

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.

True or false? Ukrainians in 1915 feared that they were losing power and independence to Russia.
Mariana [72]

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

In 1915 Ukrainians feared that they were losing power and independence to Russia because Russia captured Ukraine during the time of world war I. That time there was no meaning of the name Ukraine as it was no self identity. It lost its freedom to the powerful country Russia.

There arm forces, power was much less in comparison with Russia. That's why Russia easily captured Ukraine.

Compare the ways in which command economics and market economics effect a workers life?
Serggg [28]
Command Economies are typically bad when it comes to a person wanting to make a profit. They focus around (typically) economic equality and lack economic efficiency. Generally speaking, in a command economy, resources are allocated by a Central Planning Committee. This generally will lead to several shortages and/or surpluses in products since the demand/supply can be spontaneous.
Command=Bad

Market Economies are focused around making a profit and Economic Efficiency. Basically, people will be rewarded based on how well resources are allocated among the public. For example, take a parking lot like downtown. Generally in a Market economy, we focus on placing as many cars in the lot as possible and using the space to its full potential. However, in a Command, many in these economies will try to allocate the space so that (strictly for example) 3 small, 3 large, and 3 medium vehicles are parked- thus economic equality.
Finally, with a market economy, there tends to be less shortages and less surpluses, since we operate through the Laws of Supply and Demand in which an equilibrium price will be automatically established through buying and selling
Market=Good
