Why is Bastille significant to the french revolution?

As a specific event, the storming of the Bastille is only a raid on a supposed arms and weapons depot, by a mixed mob of Parisians and National Guards. On a symbolic level, the seven prisoners it hosted were set free and the Bastille was turned into a symbol of royal abuse of justice (even though no prisoner was detained there for political reasons, the simple signature of the king was enough to justify the emprisonments). That event is also for the French historians, the official beginning of the French revolution.

What was the main conflict between France and England in 1754?

Reasons for the conflicts between the English and the French were many in the 18th century. England and France were traditional enemies from medieval age, so there was not many trust between two countries. Beside that there was power competition in the Europe and the world between the two. In the North America French colonies bordered with the English like a chain on the west, making so the English unable to conquer new territories and caused many disputes over fur and fish trade. In the Caribbean French islands started to produce more sugar than others so they kept sugar prices lower and that had effect on the English customs revenues and monopoly ( Navigation Act of 1660. and Staple Act of 1663. during the reign of Charles II Stuart ) in Europe. Same happened in India where French gained more and more territories and trade treaties with locals over spice, tea and calico ( cotton textiles ) trade.

Besides that, in the England, since the reign of William III Orange, there was a political theory that every state which could grow to powerful should be kept down ( Balance of Powers ) and France, since the aggressive policy during the reign of Louis XIV was seen as danger to the peace in the Europe and the strongest enemy to the England.

Well, were not great partners, but not enemies at war. Sorry if this offends french people but it's just my opinion: France doesn't like us an we don't know why. In the world war, our planes were running out of gas and France wouldn't let us land in their territory. The queen let us. But then, whenever the French get in trouble, they come begging for us to help them and we always do. We kind of have the upper hand.

What is the name of the song where they sing there's a place in France where the naked ladies dance?

Answer

Well that's a pretty generic question, but to narrow it down to any "public place", or perhaps this is simply a "test" question, the only place I know for certain is the tourist town of Cap d'Agde, aka the "Naked City".

As a naturist myself, this topic is well known in the society.

I've never been there, would like to visit, and that's probably it. Yeah, grocery shopping, and perusing the typical businesses naked would certainly rank up there as an extreme experience, but personally, I'd likely try that once or twice (to be sure ;) ) then spend the time removing all tan lines on the magnitude of beaches and perhaps hook up with one of the "non dancing" ladies.

Oh, AFA "where the naked ladies dance"? Well, pick any gentleman's club and I'm sure you're there. But if your question is meant as totally generic (or, simply provocative,) then I'd have to stick with the town of Cap d'Agde (generally pronounced as 'cap dawg' to us non Frencemen...

Hope this answers your very generic question in what seems to be in an assumed context.

ANSWER 2:

In my living room!! No, I joke...It's a funny question, I am French and Ladies does not dance naked in public places, sorry but as the first answer said there are naturist places, I'm not naturist, Cap d'Agde is famous for that but I don't know if ladies dance...

What actions were taken for the Congress of Vienna?

The Congress of Vienna's main goal was to stop the spread of French Revolution ignited by philosophies such as Voltaire, Bentham, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, which was spreading quickly at the time by the Eastern European conquest of the french Emperor and military genius Napoleon Bonaparte. The Congress succeeded after Napoleon's exile to Elba, but was threatened by his return to Europe, known as the 100 days. Napoleon and his still loyal French army fought the congress and the Quadruple Alliance (Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Great Britain) and was defeated at Waterloo, and was later exiled to St. Helena, off the coast of Africa, where he would die.

The Congress was effective in their efforts and caused Europe to fall under a more constitutional monarchy. This later was known as Enlightened Despotism, and would keep monarchical order and stability between Europe's main powers..
