who started the french revolution??

Answer 1

Historians disagree about the political and socioeconomic nature of the revolution. One interpretation is that the old aristocratic order of the Ancien Régime succumbed to the ambitions of a rising bourgeoisie, influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, and allied with aggrieved peasants and wage-earners in the towns, particularly Paris and Lyon. Another interpretation sees various aristocratic and bourgeois attempts at political and economic reform spinning out of control and coinciding with popular movements of the new wage-earning classes and the provincial peasantry, but see any alliance between classes as contingent and incidental.

However, adherents of both models identify many of the same features of the Ancien Régime as being among the causes of the revolution. On the one hand, there are the economic factors:

* A poor economic situation and an unmanageable national debt, both caused and exacerbated by the burden of a grossly inequitable system of taxation, the massive spending of Louis XVI and the many wars of the 18th century
* High unemployment and high bread prices causing more money to be spent on food and less in other areas of the economy
* Food scarcity in the months immediately before the revolution (A recent study of El Niño patterns suggests that the poor crop yields of 1788-89 in Europe resulted from an unusually strong El-Niño effect between 1789-93.[1])

On the other hand, there were social and political factors, many of them involving resentments and aspirations given focus by the rise of Enlightenment ideals:

* Resentment of royal absolutism
* A resentment of noble privilege and dominance in public life by the ambitious professional classes
* Resentment of manorialism (seigneurialism) by peasants, wage-earners, and, to a lesser extent, the bourgeoisie
* Resentment of clerical privilege (anti-clericalism) and aspirations for freedom of religion
* Aspirations for liberty and (especially as the revolution progressed) republicanism

Finally, perhaps above all, was the almost total failure of Louis XVI and his advisors to deal effectively with any of these problems.
