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.
