Louis XVI became the king of France in 1774 and saw his royal treasury empty since it took large amounts of loans and used its treasures in American war of independence against common enemy British. The loans raised from billion liveres to 2 billion liveres. Even it should also maintain its army, dignity, palace of versailles etc. so, he decided to increase the taxes in the country. After Estate General Meeting in 1789, 3rd estate started to raise protest against the king Louis, Royal family and Cleargy and started series of revolts named as French Revolution (1789-92)
