Question

What were the main causes of the French Revolution?

Answer 1

The causes of the French Revolution begin with the lack of individual freedoms, the enormous poverty and social and economic inequality that existed in the France of the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Along with the Church and the clergy, the aristocracy ruled with unlimited power, since they were announced positions on the throne by God himself. The king made arbitrary and unconscionable decisions, creating new taxes, disposing of the assets of the subjects, declaring war and signing peace, etc.
