People were suffering due to the lack of leadership, food, and the inequality of the estates. The King and Queen barely spent his money to help the economy, instead he spent it on wars and the queen spent the money on gambling. They also both kept spending things on luxurious things for the castle. They also started a food crisis because the bread prices started rising and people had to steal bread from people and barge into bakeries just for food, since bread was in the french diet. Out of all of this chaos, inequality was the one that people suffered through the most. The 1st and 2nd estate were the ones living in the luxurious castle, white the 3rd estate lived outside and also had to deal with a plague that was happening in France. The 3rd estate then realized that it was time for them to fight back and make France themselves without an absolute monarchy over them, this is what led to the bloodiest revolution, The French Revolution. ]]> 2021-10-07 15:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800225756 Joaquin https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800244226 There were many things that set off the  bloody event that we know as the French Revolution. But as we know some problems were more significant then others , for example I believe the most significant problems were King Louis being disconnected from his people, the food crisis/economic crisis, and the lack of self thinking from King Louis. These points are all very important to the starting of the French Revolution because Louis not being connected to his people would later show some drastic results. But the other two problems, such as the food crisis and the lack of self thinking are more what made people realize why a monarchy is a bad idea for a government. King Louis indecisiveness would land him in many bad spots and put the country in more conflict, take the tennis court oath as an example, the whole reason the tennis court oath happened was because of Louis being persuaded by each side and not taking his own stand on the situation. That is also why he called the Meeting of the Estates Generals in the first place, because he could not decide for his people and would take the side of whoever was talking to him. This is what sparked the revolution into motion later putting the kings head in a basket.]]> 2021-10-07 15:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800244226 Tiffany Dinh s1004022297 https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800244320 The French Revolution was a horrific, bloody, and terrifying period of time where people desired radical change to the French government. It occurred from 1789 to 1799, when there was major struggles with the French government. At the time, France was ruled by King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette. These two individuals were not fit to be king and queen since they were young and inexperienced when it came to ruling a country. The commoners were not happy with the way things were going in France. Eventually it started to get so terrible, that the people had to take matters into their own hands. The three causes of the French Revolution are inequality of French society, weak leadership of King Louis XVI, and a food and financial crisis. ]]> 2021-10-07 15:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800244320 Gabriel Ward https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800248863 The causes of the french revolution changed the world. France is nearly bankrupt after their war with Britten which they lost. The French society was separated into 3 estates. 1st estate was the clergy. 2nd estate is the nobles. 3rd estate is the commoners.

Before the French Revolution, people were unsatisfied with their king, King Louis XVI, due to how ill suited he was commanding the country. There was also a huge food and financial crisis happening at that time, which hit the people of the third estate harshly. Many french citizens were also unhappy with the inequality between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd estates.

The French revolution took place in Paris France starting on May 5th 1789 and ending November 9th 1799.

Over time radicals took leadership of the revolution causing things to be more brutal than they needed to be.

In the 1700's, France ran a government in which the French citizens were divided into three different social groups; into a first, second, and third estate. Each of these estates had different sets of rights and privileges each, where the first was the most privileged and the third being the least. The French people noticed this discrimination and decided that they need to act upon this. On the other hand, the country had already been going through food and money shortages due to King Louis XVI's poor financial choices. Because of this, the third estate rioted the cities, held meetings, created their own government, and even went so far as to capture and execute King Louis XVI and his wife. The three main causes of this uprising were the discrimination between estates in the French government, the food and economic crisis at the time, and the poor leadership of King Louis XVI.]]> 2021-10-07 15:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800254367 Louisa https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800255376 The French revolution also known as the bloodiest revolutions. The French Revolution was a period of radical political and societal change in France that began with the Estates General of 1789-1799. The causes are generally agreed to be a combination of social, political and economic factors, which the existing regime proved unable to manage.When the government's monopoly of power is effectively challenged by some groups who no longer recognize its legitimate authority, no longer grant it loyalty, and no longer obey its commands.  Dual or multiple sovereignty is the identifying feature of a revolutionary situation - the fragmentation of an existing polity into two or more blocs, each of which exercises control over some part of the government and lays claim to its exclusive control over the government.  A revolutionary situation continues until a single, sovereign polity is reconstituted.  The Third Estate’s Oath of the Tennis Court in June 1789 and its claim of representing the sovereignty of the nation creates a revolutionary situation in France.
The causes of the french revolution is inequality of french society the weak leadership of King Louis XVI, food and financial crisis.

Why it was like this is because King Louis and the Queen barely stepped up to provide for the public and for the economy leading to starvation and many other things to the people. King Louis and the Queen also started making bread prices higher which lead to people stealing and taking bread from stores. However, equality took a big toll into the forces of change when it came to the French Revolution. the 1st and 2nd estates were teamed up against the third estate not only because they were more people than the 1st and 2nd estates combined, but because the 1st and 2nd estates were also finally able to raise things and not make things fair at all for the 3rd estate. so, they decided to just fight back which made things go further into reading and was later known as the French Revolution.]]> 2021-10-07 15:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800256916 The costs of French revolution BY Jarvis Ye s1004040563 https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800257044 The French Revolution is a period of radical political and societal change in France that began with the Estate general and ended with the formation of the French consulate in November 1799. The people had suffered enough the pressure giving by the higher class, and also King Louis XVI's weak leadership and indecisive. People had start to against the king at the Tennis court, so of them thinks that the king is useless and they don't want a king to live around them. So they excuse the king by treason. They also killed the queen. Although scholarly debate continues about the exact causes of the Revolution, the following reasons are commonly adduced the bourgeoisie resented its exclusion from political power and positions of honor the peasants were acutely aware of their situation and were less and less willing to support the king so they started a revolution.

When Louis XVl was crowned king he was only 20-years old, so this caused lots of people to think he was very irresponsible. Which ended up being true he didn't really care about most of the problems the French had. He was very selfish and only worry about himself. Another reason he was a bad leader what due to his wife Marie Antoinette. King Louis would allow her to have a big part in the contribution of decisions he made for the french. Another reason is due to food and financial crisis. There was a huge problem with that, everyone started to fight and starve for food because they had raised the prices. It wasn't fair to many people especially the underclass people or even the middle-class people because they just didn't have that kind of money. The last reason the french revolution happened was the inequality of the french society. The French were always trying to fight for inequality, But no one ever listened especially the king.]]> 2021-10-07 15:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800258195 alexis keifer https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800261006
the french revolution is one of the most discussed revolutions that changed the cause of history. In 1789, this revolution was primarily cause by a financial crisis, and the situation of France was worsened by the royalty. the king and his wife weren't very keen on how to spend his money for the benefit of helping their citizens. the people got so mad about how the food/bread prices that kept going up because they couldn't afford it, meanwhile it seemed like the king couldn't care. the three most significant causes of the french revolution were inequality of French Society, weak leadership, and the food/financial crisis. ]]> 2021-10-07 15:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800261006 Jeremiah S s1004040874 https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800261036 The French revolution it were one of the most bloody moments in french history. People suffered because of their incapable ruler and inequality which led them to revolt. After losing to Britain for a very long war France had become poor and no one could even afford bread. Thanks to some knowledgeable commoners the 3rd estate realized it had been wronged and decided to revolt and cut off the heads of every noble they could find and eventually the king.

The French Revolution was known as one of the most gruesome and one of the most bloodiest revolutions of humankind, it was a horrific, bone rattling moment in time. It all mainly began on 5/5 1789.

Back then there was a king named King Louis XVI. He wasn't a good leader. Which lead his people to turn on him and disagree with things he said. Food and financial crisis was a problem as well. The amount of money people had to pay for food made the people upset. Another reason would be the inequality of the society. There were three groups of people. The 1st estates the 2nd estates and the 3rd estates. There three groups of people were all treated differently. The 1st estate was treated with more respect while the 3rd with less respect. The people that were in the 3rd estate obviously did not like the way they were being treated so they also turned on the 1st estate. All this leading to the French Revolution.]]> 2021-10-07 15:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800262325 Alberto s1004046464 https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800263406 The French revolution it was were people took action for themselves and fight for rights. Their king was a terrible leader and since they lived in a monarchy the people had no rights to defy him. They were also in debt due to the king wasting money so the people couldn't have food either and were in a financial crisis. So the people grew tired of it and decided to act on it, they attacked soldiers and went inside the Kings house to try and kill him. The king could no longer ignore this and and made a agreement but the people didn't want him to have power at all so they excuted him]]> 2021-10-07 15:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800263406 Alexander https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800274912 "Gentlemen, I am innocent of everything of which I am accused. I hope that my blood may cement the good fortune of the French." These were the final and last words of the king just as he was about to be executed. And with this finally came the end of the Revolution. But what may have caused the Revolution and the death of the king? Could it be his poor leadership and not knowing how to supports his people from dying of starvation or disease? Could it be the taxation of the lower classes and the discrimination of classes? Or could it finally be the cause of the government and how the king was given too much power and had complete control over France with no way to stop him? So finally the three main causes of the revolution were King Louis's poor leadership, discrimination of classes, and finally the government .]]> 2021-10-07 15:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800274912 Nathan https://padlet.com/slohman/mce40tju00pm01q4/wish/1800275363 The French Revolution was a historic period in time that changed France’s future forever, with blood and destruction. The king of France (King Louis XVI) and his wife, the monarchy of France didn’t really know about the Revolution until a little after it had actually started after the people of the 3rd estate were locked out of court house where a meeting was held of the 3 estates. The third estate had made a oath called the “Tennis Court Oath” this oath had swore that they would meet up until a new constitution for France was made. Also calling them them self the national assembly but with everyone very upset , they had stormed the Bastille a prison where torture was conducted. When they had stormed the bastille they got hold of the warden and cut of his head putting it on a pike, officially starting the French Revolution.

Beginning from 1789 and ending in the late 1790´s, the French Revolution broadened the voices of people all around France, facing the government, church, and the king himself. Before the revolution, France was ruled poorly by King Louis XVI and his wife, Mary Antoinette. Their poor financial decisions created a rise in the frustrations of the people, where they then took apart the churches, monarchy, and executed those who approved of the previous rulings of the nation.
