The French Revolution
The French Revolution started in 1789 and ended in 1799. It was one of the greatest events of world history. All important events in Europe were somehow influenced by the French revolution. There were many causes of it. Some of them are…
1. Social Causes The French society was (like the feudal ages) divided into 3 classes/estates. They were…
• First estate comprised the Clergy.
• Second estate comprised the monarchs.
• Third estate comprised the peasants and the bourgeoisie (merchants, professionals). They were the class that revolted. The peasants revolted because they didn’t have money to pay taxes. The merchants had money but no social and political rights. That’s why they played an important role in overthrowing the monarchy in France.
2. Political Causes
• At that time France was ruled by an absolute monarchy. The King has supreme authority that is not restricted by any written laws, legislature, or customs. This is a hereditary monarchy.
• In this case the King was Louis XVI. He lacked leadership qualities.
• Also he was greatly influenced by his wife Marie Antionette who liked to enjoy life.
• Common people had no share in administration.
• There was no system of laws, all punishments were biased and unjust.
3. Economic Causes
The economic causes played an important role in bringing down the monarchy. They are…
• Louis XIV waged many wars, therefore draining the royal treasury.
• He also wasted a lot more money building a castle.
• The nobility and clergy were exempted from taxes when they had they the money to pay.
• Marie Antionette and her husband squandered a lot of money.
