THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
CAUSES
THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

many European writers to
criticize the absolute monarchy
and espouse democratic ideas
WHY?
* When the countries could not pay back their loans, foreign
lenders gained control of major industries in Latin America.
THE QUESTION OF LAND
DID THE SOCIAL PYRAMID CHANGE? NO!
