In France, Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI are the king and Queen of France.
They partied, not caring about the taxes the third estate would have to continually pay in order for them to party
Those poor people are so sad
I love partying
We can't pay anymore taxes
The third estate were the only ones paying taxes. The taxes were so high they had no money for necessities.
Those rich people are going to pay
We're hungry
The third estate came up with an idea, the tennis court oath. An oath they pledged in order to keep fighting until they have a constitution.
We are not going to stop until there is a Constitution
After they took the tennis court oath, a rumor went around that Britain was going to send troops on third estate, so the third estate came to Bastille.
How dare you send your troops!
They killed soldiers and put their heads on pitchforks. They had no mercy for them. They stormed Bastille.
