8 août 1788 - King Louis XVI calls the Estates General

Description:

With the developments of economic and political hardships, Louis XVI was forced to gather the three estates to gather some sort of insight into the problems permeating French society. The Third Estate, the most affected estate by the social developments in the country, was seen as being made up of fools and ignorant peoples by the other estates for their desire for increased governmental representation and political involvement.
