LG#15: French Revolution

Introduction
By the late 18th century, France was a bankrupt kingdom ruled by an absolute monarch,
King Louis XIV. Its people were subject to increasing taxes and were denied the many
privileges of the nobility and the Church. Finally, the old system was overthrown and
replaced with a new one. The French Revolution changed European history, and set
France on the road to democracy.
