Causes of The French Revolution
Storyboard Tekst
- POOR HARVESTS
- Increased Bread Prices
- THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
- Two years of harsh winters and bad harvests! Its the nobility to blame!
- Nepal: Post-earthquake Food Crisis
- SIMILAR TO MODERN WORLD
- One onion- that's not enough...
- I know....but the government is providing so little...
- Nepal - Government Overthrow
- PREDICTIONS
- THE ESTATE SYSTEM
- French peasants had to deal with two years of bad harvests prior to the start of the revolution. Economic policies that deregulated the price of grain contributed to the crisis.
- Unjust Land Distribution and Tax Burdens
- Like late 18th-century France, Nepal faces food shortages resulting from natural disaster and poor government decisions
- The Occupy Protest Movement
- After roughly 14 years of chaotic and inconsistent rule, the poor response to the earthquake crisis might be the last straw. Major protests over a recent constitution indicate that significant unrest already exists.
- Capitalism Continues Unfettered
- Second Estate: Nobility
- First Estate: Clergy
- Half of my income goes to taxes, while these two hardly pay a cent...and I have no way to change things in this system!
- Third Estate: Everyone Else
- OCCUPY WALL STREET!
- We are the 99%!!
- Greed Kills!
- Get a job!
- INDECISIVE LEADERSHIP
- France had a social system that heavily favored the First and Second Estate (the clergy and nobility). Less than 3% of the population, these two groups paid no taxes and controlled the government.
- Negatively Affected the Nation
- Silver crown or gold.... I can never decide.
- The goal of the Occupy Wall Street movement is to decrease the gap between the wealthiest citizens and the poorest citizens.
- Bashar al Assad
- More Freedoms Now!
- They can't handle freedom...
- Despite their non-violent approach and lots of media attention, the Occupy message seems to have had little effect. The salary gap between the wealthiest and poorest Americans remains wide.
- Assad Eventually Leaves
- Louis the XVI was well intentioned, but had little interest in actually ruling the nation. He put off making big decisions and feared upsetting the nobility.
- Bashar was not supposed to rule Syria. He was training as an eye doctor. When his older brother died, he was thrust into the role. His violent response to his own citizens protests is widely viewed as creating chaos that could have been avoided.
- Assad will not rule Syria after the civil war ends. Unfortunately, extremists groups like Jabhat al-Nusra might fill in the vacuum.
- ENLIGHTENING THINKING
- Sparked Ideas of Democracy, Liberty, and Equality
- Freedom of speech is essential for a democratic society!
- He might be right....
- Egypt: Arab Spring
- Instability Will Continue
- Sharia Law
- Secularism
- Other Islamist Parties
- Pro-Mubarak
- Upper class members of the third estate (the bourgeoisie) looked at the success of the American Revolution and began to speak openly about eliminating the old social system and replacing it with the Enlightenment concepts of democracy, liberty, and equality.
- Using Facebook as an organizing tool, Egyptians protested in huge numbers to end the corrupt rule of President Mubarak.
- Not long after Mubarak was removed, a problematic number of competing ideologies began to surface. This will make the transition to stability difficult.
