Summary
In feudalism there was king and vassals. The king would give them protection and land, in return they would give payments, loyalty and service. In order to become more wealthy they would use a system called mercantilism which it allowed other states to bring in new things. The monarchs thought that the fact that they were kings was because it was a Divine Right of kings which meant that "god had put them to rule". African Americans had trouble forming up colonies due to the fact that they had different languages and many other things differ. Communism and Fascism was a big problem because according to it people had no say in the government. People moved from dictatorship to democracy but it created problems among people those who wanted to reform government were called soft liners and those who did not were called hard liners. Sometimes when a democratic consolidation was not strong enough it would create many problems in which states would be considered failed states.
