The Absolute Monarchy In France. The long reign of Louis the XIV (1643-1715) marked absolute monarchy at its peak in France. When Louis XIII died the next in line to take the throne was only 5 years old, Louis XIV. His mother ruled for him along side the new Chief Minister, Mazarin, who had been trained by Richelieu.
Stopped Paying Reparations
The Treaty of Versailles said Germany had to pay 6.6 billion pounds over 66 years to help pay for damages caused by the war.
<span>Hitler stopped paying the reparations and put the money back into the German economy. </span>
Again, no one did anything in order to keep peace.
Rebuilt Germany's Army
In 1935, Hitler restarted the conscription process in Germany and built up Germany's air force and navy.
<span>Even though these things were in direct violation of the Treat of Versailles, no one acted against Hitler because they were trying to practice policies of appeasement.</span>
B. The United States and Russia
Russia kind of snuck in from the Northwest which is why they had a claim to the Oregon country.
