The Origins of the French Revolution

(uk) William Doyle

179K0

This book is a classic work on the origins of the French Revolution. William Doyle first summarizes what historians have said since 1939 about the origins of the French Revolution, and then provides his own interpretation. He analyzed how the old empire fell apart: the financial crisis encountered by the French government, the failure of the government governance system, the growth of opposition forces, and the failure of the government's final reform efforts, all of which made France inevitably usher in a new era. Then, the author analyzes the power struggle in the early days of the Revolution, when aristocrats, property owners, peasants, and Paris citizens stepped onto the stage of history. The author thus discusses the catalytic effects of the electoral system, economic crisis, and agrarian revolution on the occurrence of the Great Revolution.
