Pre-revolutionary France The caste system in France left the people of France poor and starving, while the nobility prospered. Taxation was very high on all items because France did not trade many goods, and that is how the government earned its money. The people were also made to pay 1/10 of what they earned to the church. France had also made an alliance with America, and were helping fund the American Revolution. Pre-revolutionary France Under the rule of King Louis XVI, France entered a state of financial crisis, due largely to the Seven Years War and support of America during the American Revolution. Over half of the country’s budget was used to pay off debt. In 1791, he was tried by the National Convention and charged with treason. He was executed on January 21, 1793. His execution marked the end of absolute monarchy in France. Marie Antoinette is widely speculated to be a main catalyst of the French Revolution due to the “Diamond Necklace Affair.”
Marie Antoinette is famous for saying, “Let them eat cake!” in response to the fact that many of France’s lower class were starving… Perhaps it was she who was responsible for the French Revolution with her involvement in the Diamond Necklace Affair…! Versailles Home of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette Versailles, outside Versailles, landscaping Versailles, inside the hall of mirrors Versailles, outside King George III (1738 – 1820) was England’s monarch during the American Revolution. In 1776, America pulled away from Great Britain to gain independence. Many in Britain viewed George III as a failure, since the colonies were lost under his reign. He was the first son of Frederick, Prince of Wales and Augusta. He happily married “Charlotte of Mecklinburg- Strelitz” in 1761. George was afflicted with mental illness, specifically porphyria, as early as 1765. Reign was given to his son George, the Prince Regent, in 1811. George III died blind, deaf and mad at Windsor Castle on January 29, 1820 England, under reign of King George III. At that time, London was a dangerous place with a lot of crime, particularly robbery. Also, grave robbing was occurring at that time, as seen in the novel. Under reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, came the French Revolution. Third estate citizens, or commoners, were very heavily taxed and starving. The French Revolution was brought about by the suffering of France’s peasants, who were literally starving and the general social problems in France. However, rumor has it that Marie Antoinette’s Diamond Necklace Affair was a catalyst of the Revolution. Event: The Bastille was stormed by the mob, joined by some of the King's soldiers on July 14, 1789. The commander of the prison, “de Launay”, attempted to surrender, but the mob denied his request. He, like all guards, was killed as they poured through the gates. Later in the day the prisoners were released. This event is still annually celebrated in France.
