doing world history hmwk...
This worksheet is pointless and it sucks more than a Team Rocket vacuum. I can sum up peasant revolts in France in a couple of words.
What happens when the common folk are angry in France?
They burn things in hordes of angry mobs.
Don't like the current ruler?
Burn everything in sight.
Economy down and having to pay for inflation?
Burn things.
Don't like the current laws?
Run around in mobs and burn everything in sight. For peasants in the 1500-1700s it meant burning their towns, buildings, and whatnot. Nevermind that they have to live their and clean up their mess sooner or later. There was a time that Paris was actually divided into sections by huge walls.
"Oh in so-and-so sector there is a revolt? No problemo, lock them in their place and wait for them to burn everything until there is nothing left and everyone is bored of burning stuff. Then send the soldiers to subdue what is left of the rebellion."
There were go, a summary of basically all of French history. Revolution must have lotsa blood, burning, and screaming masses.
Brings me to current times...you know airfare to France is pretty cheap now. (I'm not aganist the French or anything but...grr I don't want to do this stupid thing any more...three more questions left)
