What groups were especially bitter at the Old Regime?

Question

tell why in each case

Answer 1

i assume you're talking about the old regime in france (meaning france before the french revolution). well i should first say that basically, people were divided into three estates: the first estate was that of clergymen, the second estate was that of nobility, and the third estate was that of everyone else. the first and second estates were definitely well-off, since they had huge inheritances, mansions, money, and influence in the french government. the third estate, however, had a weird situation. it contained both the extremely poor peasantry (which most of the french people qualified as) and the well-off and growing middle class (people in skilled, professional jobs like doctors, lawyers, merchants, etc). obviously, the peasantry was very bitter because they had to work tirelessly while being oppressed by their employers (they basically had no rights in government), who were the vain aristocrats (nobles). also, economic and social conditions were very bad for them, since they had to live in dirty slums that incubated disease and often had to starve (or steal and become criminals) because bread prices were so high and they lacked purchasing power and salaries to buy the bread. now, the middle class was bitter because they were frustrated that even though they were successful in their careers and were rich, they could not rise to the same level and status of the nobles. the only thing that limited them was the traditional french division of the three estates, and because the middle class was not originally noble and did not pass their inheritance through generations as the aristocrats did, they could not have the same status. so, i'm assuming you know how the french revolution and the new regime came about. the french government had financial problems after fighting many wars so they called the estates general, which was a meeting of the estates, after so many years in order to make a solution to the problem but the third estate took over and made its own meeting and tried to reform the government; it should be noted that the middle class led this movement, while the peasantry followed it in the bloody revolution against the government and the nobility it supported. the hero strikes again!

Answer 2

The New Regime was really bitter.

Answer 3

In most cases, its the "old regime" that's bitter. The "new regime" won, didn't it? What's it got to be bitter about?

Answer 4

The groups who were persecuted by the old regime. As good as your question is....

Answer 5

Do you mean Napoleon's "Ancien Regime" ? I think they were probably pissed because he was trying to take over Europe. That tends to peeve people.

Answer 6

no words...

Can I say? I completely support the chatter above me
