    ld
    The French Revolution was caused by despotic rule under Louis XVI, massive spending by the royal family, a poor economy with widespread poverty, divisions in French society, and Enlightenment ideas. Key events included the rejection of voting rights, the formation of the National Assembly, a bad harvest, the king ordering troops to Paris, peasant uprisings, and the abolition of the feudal system, which transformed France from a monarchy to a republic and abolished slavery.
