There is significant disagreement among historians of the French Revolution as to its causes. Usually, they acknowledge the presence of several interlinked factors, but vary in the weight they attribute to each one.
CAUSES
- The growing popularity of the works of a number of intellectuals who argued for social reform
- Crop failures in 1788 compounded existing economic restlessness
- French participation in the American Revolution that drove the government to the brink of bankruptcy
- Resentment among the bourgeoisie about being excluded from political power
- The French monarchy, no longer seen as divinely ordained, was unable to adapt to the political and societal pressures being exerted on it
- Widespread inequality between the rich and poor classes alongside growing dissatisfaction with the antiquated feudal system among the poor
