Thanks to a large expansion of overseas trade and a longer-term development of domestic trade, the money economy experienced continued growth

Adam SagapoluThrough this i learned a lot of information about some of the main ideas about how the French Revolution started. There were some familiar facts i had already known but a lot of them but this website really elaborated on these ideas and facts. With about 20million people in France at this time 90% of them were peasants that's 18 million citizens. The lower class citizens were exposed to more polluted areas so their life span was usually significantly lower then the 1rst Estates and the upper wealthy class. This also led to anger the 3rd estate. This was just one of the many reasons of why the 3rd estate was so mad and wanted to revolt against the King.
