thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1) The Third Estate (AKA: The commoners) were very unhappy with the other estates!. This was because the Second and First estate (AKA: Nobles and Clergy and wealthy people) unfairly taxed the Third Estate, despite the fact that the Third Estate owned less land, AND worked more!. Therefore, the Third Estate began to revolt!.
2) The French Invasion of Russia which was unsuccessful!. Due to the attempt at invading Russia, France became very poor (because they had to fund the invasion)!. And since they failed in the invasion, they had wasted all of their resources for nothing!.
3) Inflation!. Due to the failed invasion, the bread prices skyrocketed since there wasn't enough money to go around!. This caused people to revolt, because they couldn't afford to buy bread!.
