The French Revolution was caused by financial crisis from wars, corruption, and poor crop yields that bankrupted King Louis XVI's government. This led to calls for the Estates General representative assembly and the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris. The Revolution deposed the monarchy, established a republic, and brought Enlightenment ideas of equality, though it also saw internal power struggles and the Reign of Terror under Robespierre before stabilizing under the Directory.
