Some of the causes that the French revolution ended was the ended of the regimen of the king Louis XVI, This stared when in 1789, although facing some economic and especially fiscals difficulties, was one of the richest and most powerful nations in Europe further, the masses of most other European powers had less freedom and less chance of arbitrary punishmen. At the same time Louis XVI called Estates -General he himself was generally popular, but the nobility and many of the king's ministers were not. Other causes were: fall the monarchy national convention and the reing of terror directory consulate, another was the storming of the Bastille etc. in 1787 was, at least in theory,an absolute monarchy, an increasingly unpopular form of government at the time.The three Estates of the french revolution were the nobilitys,clergy and the kings. Other important aspect in the french revolution are the thinkers of the Enlightenment, they had many influences in the French revolution about how were the governments in the countries etc.
