Question

what is the French revolution accur

Answer 1

Under the Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI, France had fought against Prussia and theBritish Empire in the Seven Years' War. They also fought against Britain again in theAmerican Revolution. They borrowed much money to pay for the wars, and the country became poor. The king and queen considered themselves representatives of God on earth and thus, did not pay attention to people's sufferingsThe high price of bread and low wages given to workers caused the ordinary people to suffer from hunger and malnutrition. This made them dislike the rich nobles, who had the money to eat well and build huge houses.The Roman Catholic Church, which owned the most land in France, put a tax on cropscalled the dime (tithe) which hurt the poorest and hungriest people as they were not able to afford the tax.Ideals of Enlightenment. Many people disliked absolute rule by the royalty and the nobility. They could see that in other countries, such as in the United States, which, in this time period, had just been formed, people like them had more power over the government. They also wanted freedom of religion.The first and the second estate i.e., the Clergy and the Nobility, enjoyed all the privileges and rights but the third estate (everyone else) had to pay tithes and taille (taxes paid to Church and the court).
