Causes of the French Revolution.

One of the main causes of the French Revolution is the dire plight of the poorest segments of the population. This includes both the economic downturn and the lack of any meaningful rights and freedoms that would be fully respected. The government did not pursue a policy of helping the poorest segments of the population.
One of the reasons for the economic downturn was the unsuccessful war with England.
The aristocracy also pursued an oppositional policy towards the monarchy. To prevent open protests, the monarch tried in every possible way to appease the representatives of the aristocracy, which also devoured an already meager budget.
