Food riots, scarcity of grain, increased number of deaths, rising food prices, weaker bodies.​

Answer 1

Bad harvest - lack of grain - rising food prices - the poorest can no longer buy bread. The rise in the number of deaths - Disease epidemic - Weak bodies - Food riots

Explanation:

• It is a condition that is caused by economic factors which are often high food prices which in turn can be caused by natural or man-made factors. This situation threatens the food supply and the chances of survival of large numbers of people. If we talk about France, then in the eighteenth century there was a subsistence crisis in France.

• The demand for food grains registered a rapid increase, while the production could not keep pace with its pace.

• This led to a huge increase in the price of bread while wages did not increase. This resulted in the widening of the gap between the rich and the poor and a subsistence crisis.
