Best Answer

The French Revolution arose from a power struggle between the landowning elite and the new commercial-based elite. The rural and urban lower classes, each with a varied mix of agendas and needs within their ranks, were enlisted by each side to support them.

There were no clear sides - an example of the diverse mix of motivations, the National Guard was not of the lower class revolutionaries, but raised by the middle class to protect them from the mob. It could be summarised as a mix of festering socio-economic problems, the growth of a newly-conscious urban middle class, and a struggle for power and preservation of upper-class interests and ascendancy.
