Question

what were the main factors of causes of the French Revolution​

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

French Revolution, also called Revolution of 1789, revolutionary movement that shook France between 1787 and 1799 and reached its first climax there in 1789—hence the conventional term “Revolution of 1789,” denoting the end of the ancien régime in France and serving also to distinguish that event from the later French revolutions of 1830 and 1848
