Dec. 3rd 2012 How Did the Rulers Decisions in the French and Mexican Rev. Trigger the Social Classes to Revolt?
A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time (Wikipedia). A Revolution in context specific to the
Mexican and French Revolution, is when the government or ruling party of the land, can not provide the citizen 's needs; they feel injustice and decide to revolve against them usually in a violent way. Both of these countries had big differences between their social classes; the higher class usually had everything they wanted or needed and even more, while the middle class had little and the lower class had nothing, this is what played a huge cause in both revolutions. While France had a Monarchy ruling it, which did not care for their people what so ever and the
Mexicans had a horrible dictator which was a liar and a greedy person who did not care much about the citizens either, they both eventually got over thrown. Although the two ruling systems in Mexico (1910 - 1920) and in
France ( 1789 - 1799)were quite different, they have both made substandard decisions which have brought difficulties among their people and the different social classes within them; these decisions triggered the people of different social classes to come together, revolt and begin both revolutions.
In 1876 president of Mexico the people of dictators became one himself capable of doing so would threat people into voting for him and when that didn 't work he would just rigged the votes in his favor
this was the time after France lost the war against England and the French Monarchy had become bankrupt
King Louis the 16th was a fat, lazy king who did not know how to make decisions or how to rules a country and his young Austrian wife - Marie Antoinette wasn 't much help since she too
