Question

Describe the circumstances leading to outbreak of the revolution protect in French in 1789

Answer 1

Answer:

Main circumstances leading to the outbreak of revolutionary protest in France are:

- The population of France rose from about 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789. This led to a rapid increase in the demand for foodgrains and an increase in the price of food. At that time, most workers were employed as labourers in workshops whose owner fixed their wages. But wages did not keep pace with the rise in prices. So the gap between the poor and the rich widened. Weather conditions such as drought or hail also affected production and led to a subsistence crisis.
