France was included in many wars for a long time that drained the treasury or final resources of the country. France helped the three American colonies to regain their lives and powers which result in lots of money expenditure. The second reason was that the kings before Louis XVI spend a large amount of money to maintain the courts at Versailles.
Due to these actives, France had a financial crisis when Louis XVI came. Later to solve the problems of finance, he levied many types of direct and indirect taxes on the people in the third estate.
