How did Rodney's financial situation change post-Peace of Paris?

  • Improved greatly

  • Remained stable

  • Stagnated

  • Worsened due to theft

Answer

Post-Peace of Paris, Rodney's financial situation stagnated. Despite capturing numerous prizes during the Seven Years' War, his share of the earnings was meager due to deductions and a complex prize-sharing system. The end of the war also meant a reduction in naval activities, diminishing opportunities for prize money and affecting Rodney's income as a naval officer.
