Chapter 17: Atlantic Revolutions And Their Echoes Part 2

The following section of this chapter goes more in depth of the French Revolution.  During this time France was in a bad state.  Being on the edge of bankruptcy, not to mention that the tax reforms where in bad shape.  To make matters worse King Louis the XVI wanted to raise taxes against other classes, which is bad since most people can hardly afford to pay regular taxes and now the taxes were going to be raised.  He then called a meeting that had three representatives which included the: clergy, nobility, and the commoners.  When the king died, along with his queen it made everyone upset since everyone loved the kind so much.  After King Louis came Napoleon Bonaparte who was a great leader who wanted to reform France and make it better.
