How significant of an effect did the American Revolution play

>>3093200
it put french into deep debt to help the americans win the war and this deepened an already critical debt crisis which eventually led Louis to call the estates general, the long-lapsed institution which, within a few months of convening for the first time since 1616, launched a coup against him and starting the series of extraordinary events which taken together we call "the French revolution"

>>3093217
How was France's debt before the American Revolution? Was it still hurting from the Seven Years War?

Also to put salt into France's wounds, The USA refused to pay back its debts to revolutionary France saying it wasn't the government that lent them the money.

Ah, us Americans fucked over the Brits financially for the French and Indian war, then when asked to pay for it we revolted, which in turn fucked over the French for their help against the British.

Looks like our insolence sunk two great empires. We were born unintentional conquerors.

>there are occasional lapses of reason and a kind of brusque thoughtlessness which is very painful for those who have to endure it.
What the FUCK did Louis say to make everyone in the room cringe to the point that it was unbearable? What level of autism was he displaying here

Problem with monarchism is you get full blown retards who will do anything to fuck with another nation or start a war.

Any fucks things so badly, the people do away with the monarchy all together.

Say like Nicki.

that wasn't so much louis (or arguably even nicky's) fault as the pressures of geopolitical competition for hegemony placed so much strain on their country's institutions that they collapsed from their inherent contraditions. Louis especially was more a victim of this process than the cause of it. I suppose he could have tried to opt out of interstate competition with britain but a lot of people had an interest in keeping it going for ideological (aristocratic militarism, for example, or ideas of royal legitimacy) and economic reasons (diplomatic, ministerial and army establishments who would have no raison d'etre if there was peace and so might lose their jobs if not their whole life purpose, and possibly financiers and tax farmers who make a killing when the government needs to raise money for war)

Actually the French Revolution led to the creation of the First French Empire.

It doesn't matter. They couldn't pay for it due to having a shit awful economy and it was a stupid gamble on the parts of the royalty.
