The French Revolution

The French were inspired by the American Revolution's Declaration of Independence.

The French Revolutionaries were from the third estate, they were peasants and they wanted liberty, equality, and democracy.

The memebers of the third estate were dissatisfied  because they paid the taxes, and did most of the work and paid 50% of their income to rich nobles.

The changes in the French government were inevitable because they wanted a democratic government and the people of the third estate were fed up with food shortages, and high taxes and the government didn't change anything.
