Faced with famine, increased taxes, and rising discontent, Louis XVI called a meeting of the Estates-General. This was the first time this call had been issued in one hundred fifty years. The king call this meeting because there was a widespread financial unrest in the whole territory.

The failure of 3rd estate provides a perfect ground for the rise to the revolution of French .
