  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 8 months ago

The major three causes which resulted to French revolution were-
1- Social cause  - The French society was divided into three estates , the first two  consisted of clergy and nobility respectively, the third estate  consisted of merchants, businessmen, lawyers and peasants. Third estate  didn't had equal rights and the other estates enjoyed other privileges.
2- Economic cause-  third estate had to pay all the taxes imposed by the king as the other  estates were exempted from it. The prices of bread rose which was the  main staple diet of the people and there was subsistence crisis.
3- Immediate cause-  Rumors spread that the king will order his troops to attack Paris ( as  people were revolting) and then 4000- 5000 people gathered and formed  people's militia.
