HEH

Louis XVI was the first king to come into power

at the start of the revolution. He was a

very weak and indecisive ruler, which was terrible for the country at that

point.

He also had a wife, Marie-Antoinette from Austria, who was obsessed with spending money. This put the country

into a worse state, and eventually, both Louis XVI and

Marie Antoinette were executed.

Together, they put the country into debt with over

2 billion livres. Despite national lack of food, they

always ate immense amounts, and spent money which didn't even belong to

them, but to the country.

Despite national lack of food, they always ate

immense amounts, and spent money which didn't even belong to them, but
