Question

why did the French Revolution took place

Answer 1

The French Revolution was a period in history of France covering the years 1789-1799, in which the monarchy was overthrown by the people that were dissatisfied with how the king and queen was running the country. According to The War Times Journal, “The era itself can be split into two periods; The French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Empire. The Revolution and ensuing republic saw the toppling of the old French monarchy and its replacement by a series of sporadically violent civilian administrations. At the peak of the violent period, known as "The Terror," the former king and queen were cruelly put to death. This act galvanized the other nations of Europe against France, and guaranteed that no matter what improvements might be made later, the resulting nation would never enjoy the cooperation of Europe's other leaders.” There many reasons for this revolution like political and social inequalities, bankruptcy of the government, influence of the enlightment, and the American Revolution. The king only cared about himself and his kind (the royal and rich) whom was not effected by his hasty actions. He also cared about the America’s more than he did his own country which caused them to become involved with the American Revolution and caused more debt that he could not pay, and the government began taxing the “regular” people paying half of its revenues to cover the debts to aristocrats and other lenders.
