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.
