French Revolution
Causes
The French Revolution was a period of undecisiveness in the history of France. It started when King Louis XVI spent France's money on extravagant things. Resulting the country being almost bankrupt after the king was guillotined. Some issues that also started the French Revolution were the resentment of royal absolutism, simply means that their monarchical government will have absolute power over their people. Resentment of the seigneurial system by peasants, wage-earners, and a rising bourgeoisie, meaning that the seignurial system was an institutional form of land distribution established in New France in 1627 and officially abolished in 1854. Lastly, the rise of enlightenment ideals, which included the separation of church and state.
