In 1774,Louis XVI of the Bourbon family became the king of France.

He was 20 years old and married the Austrian Princess Marie Antoinette. When we became the ruler, he found an empty treasury, because years of wars & an extravagant lifestyle had drained the financial resources of France. The cost of maintaining court he took more than 2 billion livres loan.

Under, Louis XVI France helped the thirteen American colonies to gain their independence from their common enemy Britain. The war added more than a billion livres to a debt. Due to this situation, credit lenders of state began to charge 10% interest on loans. It became difficult for the French Government to meet it's regular expenses such as maintaining army, court, etc. Thus, the Government was forced to increase taxes.
