The correct answer is A) Class conflict started the revolution.

The traditional interpretation of why the French Revolution started is "Class conflict started the revolution."

The French Revolution began in 1789. The Storming of the Bastille started the hostilities in Paris, France. French people were tired of the tyranny of the monarch. The class system had produced social inequality and the tax burden on the thirds state (the commoners, the poor people) angered the French. The Second State was the nobility and the first state was the clergy. Enlightenment ideas and the Independence of the American colonies also influenced people to initiate the French Revolution.
