This disaster was ignited by an extensive act of discontent with the French monarchy and also with the bad and poor policies made by Louis XVI in his economy sector, though he later died and also the wife of Louis was not able to achieve all of his aim and at a particulars time degenerated into chaotic bloodbath. There were several causes of the great change in France ; the cultural, social, political, financial and also the economic aspect, the French revolution destroyed the old system of the French and also bring about the a very significant instrument as a means of change and brought about new development and ideas.

The financial crisis: the absolute monarchy in France extended his royal influence into new areas of lawmaking administration, taxation. all these areas did not bring changes to meet the needs of the state.

It was nation of a constant crisis in the financial sector, the French nation seek for loan s to be able to meet up with his prevailing needs, before the loan the state were already in a serious debts.
