Causes of 1789 Rev - Louis (Short term and Immediate)

Beschreibung

All in all Louis was 'behind the curve' w/ events from 1787-89. His failure to present a govt position, failure to accept proposed reforms and willingness to use force to oppose the changes forced otherwise mod deps to become more radical and to increase their demands. He was, to put it bluntly, a rubbish King.
