Background to the Revolution“The condition of France alone did not bring about the overthrow of the monarchy… for the suffering of the people was not greater than they had been before. The ideas of the philosophs were not directly responsible for the outbreak…[but] the spark that changed thought into action was supplied by the Declaration of American Independence… The American example caused the Revolution to break out.”
- Lord Acton

The Third Estate had to pay taxes to the government. In addition, peasants owed duties to the nobles such as harvesting their crops.We

Immediate CauseIn the south of France there is a taille [tax on the land and its produce]. There is an injustice in levying the amount each person must pay. Lands held by the nobility are taxed very little. Lands held by the commoners are taxed very heavily…September 5, 1788: The poor people seem very poor indeed. The children are terribly ragged.June 10, 1789: The lack of bread is terrible. Stories arrive every moment from provinces of riots…The price of bread has risen above people’s ability to pay. This causes great misery. July 1789:…I was joined by a poor woman who complained of the hard times. “The tailles and feudal dues [rents owed to the landlords] are crushing us,” she said.
