France was in debt due to costly military engagements, including the American Revolutionary War, and extravagant spending by the monarchy, particularly under King Louis XVI and his predecessors. Additionally, the tax system disproportionately burdened the Third Estate, which included peasants and the urban poor, while the nobility and clergy enjoyed significant tax exemptions. This financial strain, combined with rising bread prices and widespread poverty, led to widespread discontent and resentment among the peasants, ultimately contributing to the revolutionary fervor.

What did the peasants revolt want?

All the angry peasats who wanted higher wages, lower taxes and an end to work service. There were around 100,000 (bigger than the World cup final) and their leader was called Wat Tyler, who was killed at Smithfield. Another important guy was the priest John Ball, who preached to the peasants that revolting was a good idea. After the revolt, he was hung, drawn and quartered - the quarters were sent to four different places and put on display. Hope this helps! Anon., 12, West Bridgford School
