The document provides an overview of the French Revolution that occurred between 1787 and 1799. It discusses the three estates that existed in France - the clergy, nobility, and commoners - and how the commoners (the third estate) faced high taxes while comprising 90% of the population. A number of political, social, and economic factors contributed to the revolution, including King Louis XVI's disconnect from his subjects' concerns, poverty from bad harvests, and France's growing debt crisis. The lavish lifestyle of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette at the Palace of Versailles despite the country's economic troubles further fueled discontent among the public.
