Answer:
1. French citizens revolted against their monarchy, causing one of the most violent uprisings in history.
Explanation:
The causes of the French Revolution can be divided into several categories:
Political: the crisis of the feudal absolutist system, the arbitrariness and extravagance of royal power against the background of their unpopularity.
Economic: excessive taxes, limitation of land turnover, internal customs, financial crisis of 1787, crop failure of 1788, famine of 1789.
Social: the lack of rights of the people, the luxury of the aristocracy against the backdrop of national poverty.
Spiritual: the ideas of the Enlightenment, an example of the war for independence in the United States.
The Great French Revolution changed the world, overthrowing the absolute monarchy and making possible the transition to a capitalist system of social structure. Thanks to it, ways were opened to build a new state, spread education and science, and create new laws. Its motto “Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood” has become a reality for everyone.
