5 mai 1789 - King Louis calls a meeting with the estates general
Description:
The financial situation of France was so bad that King Louis XVI called upon the Estates General, which represented the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. This convention revealed the discontent of the Third Estate with their lack of political power, and in an act of boldness, they formed what was called the National Assembly, an early step toward revolutionary change.Ajouté au bande de temps:
