what is French revolution? and its main ideas?
The French Revolution, from 1789 to 1799, changed French history forever. Radical political and social changes brought bloodshed, turmoil, and repression. The poor French people revolted against the corrupt government.

Main causes of the French Revolution:

1) The social and psychological burdens of the many wars of the 18th century, which in the era before the dawn of nationalism were exclusively the province of the monarchy.

2) Aspirations for liberty and republicanism.

3) Widespread famine and malnutrition, which increased the likelihood of ailments and death, in the most destitute segments of the population during the months immediately before the Revolution.

4) High unemployment and high bread prices, causing more money to be spent on food and less in other areas of the economy.
