    Remember, it took the black death and like 1/2 the population dying to bring about this change

      I mean the black death was like 450 years before the French revolution… I think it just took some angry French people for change

        If anything I think our societal problem is that everyone remembers what happened to Robespierre.

        On top of a depressed economy from endless war and poor management of state funds, the details of the lives of nobles started to get published for just anyone to read which was unprecedented. Although no single thing can be attributed to causing the revolution, I think that just learning about how the nobility lived really put a difficult situation over the top for them.
