PRELUDE TO THE FRENCH REVOLUTION: MONARCHY IN CRISIS
As the 18th century drew to a close, France’s costly involvement in the American Revolution and extravagant spending by King Louis XVI (1754-1793) and his predecessor had left the country on the brink of bankruptcy. Not only were the royal coffers depleted, but two decades of poor cereal harvests, drought, cattle disease and skyrocketing bread prices had kindled unrest among peasants and the urban poor. Many expressed their desperation and resentment toward a regime that imposed heavy taxes yet failed to provide relief by rioting, looting and striking.

subsistence crisis is an extreme situation where the basic means of livelihood are endangered
In France the population rose from 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789.
This led to a rapid increase in the demand for food
the production of grains did not keep pace with the increase in demands
so price of bread rose rapidly.
most workers were employed as labours .the wages didnot keep pace with the rice in prices
gap between the rich and poor increased this lead to subsistence crisis
