Question

why did franch government increase the taxes​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) LONG YEARS OF WAR HAD DRAINED THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF FRANCE.

2) IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO RUN GOVT. OFFICES,UNIVERSITY ETC BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE OF MONEY IN THE TREASURY

3)WHEN LOUIS XI BECAME THE KING, THE TREASURY WAS ALMOST EMPTY.

UNDER LOUIS XI FRANCE HELPED THE THIRTEEN COLONIES OF AMERICA GAIN INDEPENDENCE FROM THEIR COMMON ENEMY BRITAIN. THIS DRAINED OUT MORE MONEY.

4)LENDERS WHO GAVE THE STATE MONEY BEGAN TO CHARGE 10% INTEREST ON LOANS

5) SO, THE FRENCH GOVT. WAS OBLIGED TO SPEND AN INCREASING AMOUNT OF ITS BUDGET ON INTEREST PAYMENTS.

BECAUSE OF ALL THESE REASONS, THE FRENCH GOVT. HAD TO INCREASE TAXES.
