What impact did philip ii and louis xiv have on the economies of their nations?

King Philip II of Spain was not lucky. His late father, King Charles V had left him a huge national debt and he defaulted on his own loans four times between 1557 and 1596. One big issue was that Spain had back them the greatest Empire in the world but the kingdom of Spain proper was not heavily populated and thus tax revenue was minimal, especially since local lords took most of it for themselves. Spain became heavily reliant on revenue from its colonies in the New World and Asia to pay for expenses but even that did not prevent loan defaults in various occasions.

King Louis XIV of France also inherited a dire financial situation but he had the foresight to choose a very capable and diligent Minister of Finances, Jean-Baptiste Colbert. Colbert applied very efficient taxation, forbidding the auctioning of taxes and of exemptions that had not been authorized by the government. He also made it mandatory to keep accurate records on all forms of taxation so as to prevent embezzlement of these funds by corrupt tax officials. The deficit was resorbed as well as the national debt. However, his extremely lavish lifestyle and his constant wars against other European powers eventually would undermine the beneficial aspects of his reforms. Also, he refused to tax nobility and most taxes were paid by peasants.

the correct answers are the following

a proxy war which functioned as a training field for wwii

republican democratic goverment

national side, leaded by the fascist general franco

the spanish civil war took place between 1936 and 1939 and was fought after a military coup undertaken on the 17th july 1936 by a group of generals that had seceeded from the spanish republican army, under the leadership of general franco, and who aimed to expel the democractically-elected republican goverment from power.

this war became a proxy war in which european powers tested their military equipment. on one side, urss and mexico supported the left-wing republican spanish goverment, while nazi germany and fascist italy supported the national fascist side.

franco managed to win the war in 1939, with the significant contribution of the foreign military support, and became the dictator of spain until his death in 1975.
