Explanation:
The French Crown's debt was caused by both individual decisions, such as intervention in the War of Independence and the Seven Years' War,[11] and underlying issues such as an inadequate taxation system. The War of Independence alone cost 1.3 billion livres,[12][13] more than double the Crown's annual revenue, and in a single year - 1781 - 227 million livres were spent on the campaign. The Seven Years' War was even more costly, at 1.8 billion livres,[14] and the war preceding that, the War of the Austrian Succession cost another billion livres.[15] France faced an impossible dilemma: how to both maintain its international position and status by engaging in these conflicts, and how to fund them with an archaic and grossly inefficient system.
