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.

Which groups in the French Revolution benefited from the French Revolution?
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.
