Why were the members of the Third Estate dissatisfied with their way of life under the Old Regime?

History
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
3 0
The Old Regime tried to consolidate power in France to the point where only they would have a say. The Third Regime made up at least 90% of French people, and they were, therefore, outraged. Plus, the First and Second Estates (clergy and nobles, respectively) often sided together because they were the "upper crust". Each Estate had one vote, so the views of the First and Second Estates were often passed. Again, this only represented a fraction of France's population, so the Third Estate was rightfully angry and demanded more power. Plus, they often had to deal with the brunt of the economic turmoil (famine, poverty, etc.)

How is Japan treated differently than Africa during Imperialism?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Read the following

Explanation:

So Japan had a period of moderniziation (The Meiji Restoration Period) where they developed rapidly and managed to get a military and navy similar to the major powers. However, they weren't seen as equals to the Europeans. Now they weren't colonized because, they did isolate themselves but when they were forced out of isolation, they knew they had to modernize or they'll become like the Qing Dynasty (modern day china) and have imperial powers take advantage of them and there lands. So unlike Africa, Japan actually had a realistic chance of defending themselves from invaders, something that would make invading Japan costly. Not only that, but after 1900 it would be almost impossible to treat the Japanese like they did to Africa, as they rapidly grew a European like military and navy. Also, they were one of the 11 nations that sent troops to Peking in the boxer rebellion, which kind of showed how the Japanese weren't equal to the Qing Dynasty, at least in terms of military and navy as they were shown to be much stronger. Finally in 1904, the Russo-Japanese war begun, and while Russia had the largest army in the world at that time (in terms of troop count) the Japanese managed to invade Manchuria which was partially owned by the Russians at that time. Also, they destroyed the Russian naval fleet, ending the chance of Russia ever being able to invade Japan again (at least until WW2). So after the Russo-Japanese war, Japan was considered a great power, and most likely the next asian hegemony, which they were for a time in WW2.

How did constantinople's church of hagia sophia (ayasofya) demonstrate how the byzantine empire blended with the old roman empir
Ierofanga [76]
<span>The Hagia Sophia demonstrated the blending of the Byzantine Empire with the old Roman Empire through its architecture. More specifically, the bell-shaped roof at the top of the church was a nod to Roman architecture. Additionally, the many columns and arches built in the church are also typical of Roman architecture, displaying another mix between the two. </span>
