Digital Postcard: French Revolution Oct. 6

This postcard will be a little different from the others.
Lets use a few images instead of just one.
And lets try to cover a couple of different aspects of the revolution.

First, find at least two images that relate to some of the causes and influences of the French Revolution. Then insert some text to describe the images. This one does not really have to be written like a post card - just be sure to capture the causes of the French Revolution with images and text.

Some of the causes you may research and describe are:

Influences:
- The Enlightenment
- The American Revolution

Causes:
- The division and tension between the three estates
- The debt of the French govt.
- The high cost of bread - people were hungry - hungry people are more likely to revolt
- The unhappiness of the Third Estate (over taxation and mistreatment).
- The ineffectiveness and detachment of the king.


Second, if you still have time, find some images and create text of the actual revolutionary events.

Some revolutionary events:
The Tennis Court Oath
The taking of the Bastille
The bread protest and march to Versailles
