The French Revolution officially started on July 14th, 1789 with the storming of the Bastille. Though, revolutionary ideas were already among the French for a long time. Louis XIV had built Versailles and when Louis XV succeeded him on the throne, he inherited a state debt of nearly 400 million Francs. Louis XV did not do a lot to overcome this debt and by the time Louis XVI acceded the throne, the bourgeois French were truly sick of their monarchs living in such overwhelming luxury while they were struggling to pay the taxes (while members of the Church and all of the Nobility did not have to pay anything). This caused uproars and eventually led to the Revolution as we know it today.
The third estate, which consisted of 97% of the population and felt slighted by the government.
the 3rd estate
The third estate, made up of peasants, artisans and workers, which was 97% of the population, were those who benefited from the French Revolution. In particular the Bourgeoisie, a section of the third estate who were relatively wealthy, such as bankers, lawyers, doctors and other similar professions, benefited the most from the French Revolution because the Revolution put them in power. The first and the second estates, meaning the clergy and nobility, were the groups that lost the most from the French Revolution. They would not recover their pre-Revolution position until the Congress of Vienna of 1815 reinstated the French monarchy.
The third estate. The first estate was made up of the clergy, the second estate was made up of the nobles and the peasants made up the third estate.
The French working class (a.k.a. the bourgeoisie) was represented in the Estates General by the 3rd Estate.
i think The third estate is the common people, the largest group of people in France, difficult to get rid of them. On June 17, 1789, the Third Estate began the French Revolution. The formation of the National Constituent Assembly marked the end of the Estates-General, but not of the three estates.
Bastille Day is the national holiday of France. It began on July 14, 1880 and is held to honor the beginning of the French Revolution with the Storming of Bastille.
The Third Estate
1st estate imposed tax to the common people which actually indicated the beginning of the drastic changes.2nd estate enjoyed feudal rights and previleges which was the anger of the 3rd estateAnd the 3rd estate agressively protested the nation.So all of the 3 estates were responsible for those drastic changes caused by the revolution..............
