Answer 1

New ideas and/or better living conditions spawn more thought. Thought + Unfair Government = Revolution. With people questioning beliefs, especially the divine right of the king to rule, it all falls apart.

Answer 2

I would say, yes there is a conection. For example, the introduction of new technologies that brought from America to Europe at that time. The people who looked for new jobs in both Europe and America. You can also talk about "women movements," and women roles during that era. in addition, you can talk about the urban life, new cities (like vienna and paris) and the effect of Haussmann's project for Paris. Simply, you can discuss the "family" life and how it change during all those Revolutions. The politics and how you can connect it to Scientific, American, French and industrial revolution. Politics? think about the "smallpox inoculation," do u remmber Lady Mary Wortley Montage? from where and when she brought the vaccine? things like this. Best wishes I wish this can help
