King Louis XVI called the Estates-General into session in May 1789 primarily to address the financial crisis facing France. The government was heavily in debt, and attempts to reform the tax system had failed, leading to widespread discontent. By convening the Estates-General, he aimed to gain support for new tax measures and hoped to quell the growing unrest among the populace. However, this decision ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the French Revolution.
