Before the french revolution, people, or should I say, 80 percent of the people, called the third estate, suffered through a long and treacherous time, where French was a monarchy. The third estate was treated very badly, and the first and second estate held all the power. The third estate paid all the taxes, did all the work, and didn’t earn much money. This is what caused the French revolution. The people were unhappy under the rule of Louis XVI. They didn’t like the differences between the social classes. Some may argue about the success of the revolution, and if it was worth it or not. In the video below, major events of the French Revolution are featured. Watch it yourself to find out.
