Answer 1

a. Role of France.

Step-by-step explanation:

France allied England against the Spanish in March 1657 through the signing of the Treaty of Paris, becoming a key participant in the conflict. On the other hand, during 1792 French revolutionaries wished for war because they saw it as a way to unify the country while also promoting their ideas of the Revolution in the entire European continent. This is why they declared war on Astria.
