Ryan Lerner The French Revolution is widely regarded as one of the most bizarre times in the history of the world. One of the most bizarre occurrences from this movement came with the adoption of a new French calendar. With the French movement, the phrase, “liberty, equality, and fraternity” became increasingly important. However, the adoption of the revolutionary calendar actually undermined all three of these values. While this calendar may have seemed very logical, promoting religious and social reform, it actually did much more harm than good.
This had a much more positive effect because while the villagers lost land the enclosure resulted in efficient farming that produced more food. Before this happened there were people dying of hunger and very young so thy ay have lost land but gained food and a longer life span for themselves and their children. This agricultural revolution also came to revolutionize how we live and go about our lives. The second aspect of the Industrial Revolution came in the textile industry which was the most important part of this revolution. Cotton became the fabric of choice instead of wool, linen or silk.
He only taxed the merchants and low-income people of France, which may have brought in money, but without taxing the high-income people of France he just did not have enough. Louis also built the Palace of Versailles, where he lived and relocated the court and government to. The Palace of Versailles was an enormous building that took much effort to built and took a huge chunk of change from the French wallet. The Palace of Versailles had a room called the hall of mirrors, which had very elegant chandeliers, and mirrors (Batchelor, Bob). This just shows the intensity of the Palace of Versailles because it was so elegant while being so incredibly large.
On the other hand, once he had claimed the throne, he established motifs, marriage alliances and treaties in order to strengthen his dynasty. By the end of his reign in 1509, he had secured trade links, but also milatery glory, which indicate other factors contributed him to increasing his dynastic insecurity. Throughout his reign, the balance between England and France were Henry’s greatest concern. In the first few months of his reign, Henry made a one year truce with France, which later extended from 1486-1489. Nevertheless, the truce wasn’t easy, espeically over the corrupted matter of Brittnany, whom the French wanted to succed, as Francis II wanted to marry Anne Duchess of Brittany.
Assumptions: Existence of adequate number of farmers whose needs remained unaddressed till then. Absence of organized retail supply chain in urban areas till mid 1920’s. Emergence of middle class who were eager to buy high end products, but at a reasonable price. Revenue model: Profits from volume sales of products at retail outlets, which were produced at their own manufacturing units. Profits from huge sales in the untapped rural markets.
That document amalgamated a variety of Enlightment ideas drew from the works of political philosophy. The French Revolution was influenced by Brotherhood because the irate citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille together, it was an expression of the power of the people to take politics into their own hands. Fiscal irresponsibility influenced the Revolution because after debts where brought to an higher level then before then taxes were raised on the people to end the financial trap which was not easy and required the support of the aristocracy. Democracy influenced the French Revolution the new construction of politics, in which all individuals were equal, ran counter to prevailing ideas about collective identities defined in guilds and orders. People on all levels of society learned politics.
Farmers always reused everything or fed trash to the animals, whereas city dwellers could simply just throw things away if they didn’t like. For example, mail-order houses like Sears and Montgomery Ward made things cheap and easy to buy, so if people were not in favor of the product, they would dispose of it. Criminals flourished, and impure water, uncollected garbage, and unwashed bodies made the cities unsanitary 18. Two new technical developments of the late nineteenth century that contributed to the spectacular growth of American cities were A. the telegraph and the railroads. B. the compressor and the internal combustion engine.
These values are almost contrary to the ideals of the labor movement whose focus was the use of force and other tactics to increase wages, benefits and improve working conditions. Southerners, given that they mostly worked in agriculture, were not forced to deal with some of the dangerous working conditions seen in the industrial cities, and were happy when they were able to provide food for their families. This is not to say that agriculture was not dangerous or that it paid well, only that given the perspective of these people, lacking the exposure of industry and having strong family values, they would have a hard time relating to those who advocate for organizing. As it became increasing apparent that agriculture would not sustain the economies of Southern states, there was a growing atmosphere of anti-union sentiment in the region. Many states enacted right-to-work laws making closed “union only” shops illegal, in an attempt to lure businesses away from their Northern strongholds.
All of these steps toward a better future lead to the French Revolution. But why was there a French Revolution in the first place? Well, it began when King Louis XVI became the ruler of France in 1774. He was definitely not considered a good king. He heavily taxed the third estate, which comprised of merchants and peasants all together totaling to 98% of the population, in hopes to relieve the financial problems of France.
At first America wasn’t in a hurry to join the Industrial Revolution. The people were busy trying to fix their lands and found communities in the colonies they developed. While they knew it was hard to cultivate crops and create homes for themselves while already not having enough hands for the job which makes things worse. The Industrial Revolution was a major period in time. This revolution was a changing point for us in history because it almost affected all of the working habits that we do in our daily lives.
