France_And_Britian

France And Britian France and Great Britain Throughout the course of history, wars were waged, leaders came and went, and countries eventually found their roles. Two countries that I am going to talk about are the countries of France, and Great Britain. Both are European states, but political, economically, and socially, they could not be any more different. Let’s take a look at the similarities and differences of these two Atlantic seaboard states. In the political sector of Europe, you had various forms of government. France had an absolutism government, where as England had a form of “enlightened absolutism.” England’s king followed the enlightened path which is basically allowing religious toleration, freedom of speech and press. There was also a push for fostering the arts, sciences, and education. Only a strong monarch could seem capable of doing so. What it ended up doing was establishing a path to a modern nationhood. France basically had the same form and ideas, except that it was all in the way the monarchs wanted to rule the country. When the seven years war broke out, both France and Britain were center stage for what would eventually take place. france, england, both, world, new, made, food, way, two, take, population, place, people, government, eventually, different, country, countries, britain, about, therefore, states, social, shortage, revolution, resources, political, peasants, path, part, nobles, nobility, military, leaders, growth
