There were several events that led to the French Revolution. The biggest cause was the poor and horrible living conditions of the people of France while the King and his wife lived a very lavish lifestyle.
There were two. The first was the storming of the Bastille on July 14th 1789. The second was the Tennis Court Oath.
When Louis XVI had to convoke the Estates General, the third estate (the bourgeoisie) ordered to double their numbers in the Estates General, because the majority of France existed of Bourgeoisie. The others 2 estates (the nobility and the clergy) did not agree with this, but the King gave in to the third estate. When the Estates General met, they had on one occasion locked out the third estates members. They went to a nearby tennis court at Versailles and swore they would not dissemble until a constitution for France would be drawn up and accepted. Both occasions were significant for the beginning of the French Revolution.
well many things helped trigger it for example the unfair tax system where the poor paid the most taxes and the rich paid little to none and of course they were influenced by the American revolution by seeing the Americans overthrow the british rule so they thought if the Americans can get rid of king george the third then the can overthrow king Louis the sixteenth.

It provided the intellectual spark for the American and French Revolutions.
Franz Ferdinand was dead during the war, his role in WWI is that he was the spark, the event that set off the war when he was assasinated.
There were four main causes to the war: militarism, nationalism, imperialism, and the alliance system. But only one event was the spark. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, from Austria-Hungary, was the spark of the war. While visiting the smaller country of Serbia, a freedom fighter named Gavrilo Princep murdered them.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is widely considered the spark that set WWI into motion.
It began with the storming of the Bastille.

It has been seen as helping spark the American Revolution.
the french revolution is about king Louis abusing is power and giving the peasant hard time and don't make equal right between the nobles and the peasnt. The 5 Stages are the ancient regime, the spark, the moderate phase, the radical phase, and the thermodorian reaction.
Before the French Revolution there was a major economic gap between classes. The lowest class was suffering from extreme poverty and famine. France was also going through an economic crises due to their aid in the American war for independence. This factors combined with the ideas of a constitutional monarchy began the French Revolution.
The French Revolution gave the world a different model from the American Revolution. The American Revolution was a giving of rights taken away or an extension of rights. The Bill of Rights in the Constitution simply listed rights that various kings had previously affirmed belonged to all Englishmen. The American Revolution limited the tyranny government could do. The French Revolution on the other hand presented a violent overthrow of the old order. It was not an evolutionary change but a revolutionary change. Many revolutionary groups chose to follow the French style of Revolution. The main one was communism. The politburo was a thinly disguised committee on public safety. It served the same purpose. Stalin was Robespierre. They begin with high sounding rhetoric. It had a dream based on platitudes. It disintegrates into chaos. The dream that a people can live by platitudes keeps appearing and never works. A group takes over the government and becomes terrorist. The impact of the French Revolution has been to destroy the old order. Like the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution and the Chinese Revolution destroyed the old landowning nobility. All revolutions based on the French Revolution do that. Then internal corruption brings the collapse of the revolution. When no other way is seen to exist to get rid of a powerful entrenched nobility, a French revolution may occur. When the task is to prevent a return of tyranny as it was in Germany after World War 2, an American Revolution may occur.
It is a french word, meaning ''spark''
