| Causes of the revolution: | • The resesntment among classes, because the 3 atate resented the fact that 1 and 2 had all the privileges
• The new ideas of the enlightment, they inspired the peoplpe to make a change
• Economic problems: France had a very strong economy but in 1780 there was aproblem with the crops people were hungry. There were a lot of taxes and the food was really pricy, Bread dobloed the price. there was starvation. France was at debt so they borrowed money to help americanst but the banks closed for France
• Weak leadership, the kings at the time was Louis XVI, he was an awkward and clumsy man who had good intentions but didn’t have the intlligence so they marry him to Marie Antoinette but their marriage was weird the didn’t have any * so the pueblo blamed maria for not having any children but eventually she had a child a girl and a boy and the last one she lot it. She loved France and adapted very well she used a lot aof money so the Franch named her madame defict |
| Problems | Louis had no money left. His solution was to impose taxes on the nobility. However, the Second Estate forced him to call a meeting of the Estates-General—an assembly of representatives from all three estates—to approve this new tax. But was unnfair because there were only 3 votes, The two privileged estates could always outvote the Third Estate. |
| National Assembly | The members of the 3 state wanted to make a change and a person from th 1 state made a dramatic speech were he suggested they would join anf form the national assembly
they then decide to creat it, this was the frist act of revolution
the Third Estate delegates found themselves locked out of their meeting room. They broke down a door to an indoor tennis court, pledging to stay until they had drawn up a new constitution. This pledge became known as the Tennis Court Oath.
Then some members of the 1 and 2 state joined and Louis paid a swiss army to circle Versailles |
| Storming of the Bastille | Rumours flew and people thought Louis got the army to masacre the people in France so they gathered weapons and haccked into the prision of the bastille were the weampons were and killed all the guards.
That became the national day in France |
| The great fear | a wave of senseless panic that spread through the French countryside after the storming of the Bastille in 1789. Nobles and peasants were terrorized and did things to terrorize |
| Woman March for bread | Parisian women rioted over the rising price of bread. the women marched on Versailles. First, they demanded that the National Assembly take action to provide bread. Then they turned their anger on the king and queen. They broke into the palace, killing some of the guards. The women demanded that Louis and Marie Antoinette return to Paris.
