Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #35457 French Lord
Instructions
France  was  still  essentially  a  feudal  nation  with  lords,  due  to  a  range  of  ancient  and  modern  rights  from  their  peasants  who  comprised  about  80  percent  of  the  population  and  the  majority  lived  in  rural  contexts.  France  was  a  predominantly  agricultural  nation,  even  though  this  agriculture  was  low  in  productivity,  wasteful,  and  using  out  of  date  methods.  An  attempt  to  introduce  modern  techniques  from  Britain  had  not  succeeded.  Inheritance  laws,    estates  were  divided  up  among  all  the  heirs,  had    France  divided  into  many  tiny  farms;    the  large  estates  were  small  when  compared  to  other  European  nations.  The  only  major  region    large-scale  farming  was  around  Paris,  where  the  always  hungry  capital  city  provided  a  convenient  market.  Harvests  were  critical  but  fluctuating,  causing  famine,  high  prices,  and  riots.
