Effects of European exploration on peoples of Africa

reign of terror

For roughly a year during 1793 and 1794, the Committee of Public Safety took control of the government. To defend France from domestic threats, the committee adopted policies that became known as the Reign of Terror. 40,000 people were killed, most of which were not aristocrats. 16,000 killed by guillotine. Most executions were held in town that openly rebelled against the Convention

3 causes of European imperialism and how the 3 "G's" reflected in each.

God: Christianity was taught to the slaves in order to civilize the "heathen savage". Gold: The quest for portable wealth, like precious metals, spices, textiles, and exotic goods. The ethic was "rip-off and run". Glory: Inferred fame and honor etc. Sometimes territories were claimed on behalf of a monarch because the territory was useful as a trading or military site. These areas were also used as dumping grounds for dissidents and undesirables or breeding grounds for miniatures of the Mother Country. When the Mother Country allowed the citizens to settle abroad this process was known as colonization.

why was the tennis court oath significant?

It was significant because the oath was both a revolutionary act, and an assertion that political authority derived from the people and their representatives rather than from the monarch himself.

On June 20th, 1789, the members of the French Estates-General for the Third Estate, who had begun to call themselves the National Assembly, took the Tennis Court Oath, vowing "not to separate, and to reassemble wherever circumstances require, until the constitution of the kingdom is established".

storming of the Bastille and two reason why it's significant

The Storming of the Bastille occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of 14 July 1789. The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the centre of Paris. The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuses of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.

Why was Louis XVI executed?

The execution of Louis XVI was the ultimate repudiation of the old system of government. It was also the clearest act of defiance to the idea of "Divine Right of Kings" by which European monarchs had laid claim to their right to rule. By putting to death the head of state at the hands of commoners, the Revolutionary government declared the right of people to make decisions for themselves. On a more practical level, it also ensure that those other European nations would unite against France. This forced all French to rally around the Revolutionary government to defend the nation against those forces. And that in turn opened up the path for the rise of Napoleon.

what was the significance of the Storming of the Bastille?

Traditionally, this fortress was used by French kings to imprison subjects that didn't agree with them politically, making the Bastille a representation of the oppressive nature of the monarchy. This event was the start of the French Revolution and the eventual fall of the French monarchy. It allowed the peasants to break into the House of Lords and destroy the records of their obligations.
