Modern European Essay #6
|
|
|
|
|
|
The statement citing the essential cause of the French Revolution as
|
|
the "collision between a powerful, rising bourgeoisie and an entrenched
|
|
aristocracy defending it's privileges" has great pertinence in summarizing
|
|
the conflict of 1789. The causes of the French Revolution, being provoked
|
|
by this collision of powers, was the Financial debt of the government and
|
|
the long-standing political differences in the government.
|
|
|
|
Over the course of twenty-five years after the Seven Years' War, the
|
|
government of France--the Bourgeoisie royalty, could not manage it's
|
|
finances on a sound basis. This was worsened when France aided the
|
|
American Revolution against Great Britain. The Government had reached
|
|
great financial debt. The problem lied and continued because of the
|
|
government's inability to tap the wealth of the French nation by taxation.
|
|
There was a great paradox in France being a rich nation with a government
|
|
in poverty. The deteriorating finances of the government is what triggered
|
|
the prolonged differences between the Bourgeoisie and the aristocracy.
|
|
|
|
The political differences between the monarchy and the nobles came
|
|
about after the Seven Years' war also. The increasing debt of the
|
|
government escalated the hope for the monarchy to resume a "absolute power"
|
|
status as it did with Louis XIV. However this could not be accomplished
|
|
because of the doubt that the public had towards the present kings Louis XV
|
|
and Louis XVI, and the public could not be swayed to help. The only result
|
|
of the attempts for absolutism by the monarchy were a series of new and
|
|
increase taxes on the nobles. The aristocracy immediately reacted to these
|
|
taxes as declaring them unfair and would not accept them. Louis XV began
|
|
with a series of Financial advisors chancellors which all had the intention
|
|
of saving the monarchy from financial ruin. They made many attempts at
|
|
taxation, such as a land tax, but each of these were defeated by the nobles
|
|
-- the Parlements were even destroyed for a brief time, but were later
|
|
restored by Louis XVI in attempt to gain public support. The government
|
|
continued to become poorer and poorer and it seemed the only successful
|
|
taxation was done towards the peasants, whom had the least money. The
|
|
monarchy eventually fell and caused great unrest leading to the French
|
|
Revolution.
|
|
|
|
The French Revolution was caused by the escalating rivalry between the
|
|
monarchy and the aristocracy. The conflict would make an impact on all of
|
|
Europe to come and even world history. All this turmoil was caused by a
|
|
bunch of greedy Nobles and kings which wanted power and money. It seems
|
|
this problem repeats history, even today -- because big money-makers, like
|
|
Texas Oil Ranchers, wouldn't pay to fix pollution problems early on it
|
|
eventually lead and is still leading to great conflict for the future.
