In addition to this, France assisted the thirteen American colonies to get independence from Britain. This increased the debt to another one billion livres. ... This made the French government to spend further on interest payments alone. Thus in order to meet the recurring expenses, the state was obliged to increase taxes.
Tailles:
(in France before 1789) a tax levied on the common people by the king or an overlord.
Tithes:
one tenth of annual produce or earnings, formerly taken as a tax for the support of the Church and clergy.
