History
French Society During the Late Eighteenth Century
अठारहवीं शताब्दी के उत्तरार्ध में फ्रांसीसी समाज
This Class 9 History topic introduces the structure of French society before the French Revolution. Students learn about the First Estate (clergy), Second Estate (nobility), and Third Estate, including peasants, workers, and the growing bourgeoisie. It explains how unequal privileges, feudal dues, taxation, rising food prices, and financial pressures placed a heavy burden on ordinary people, while privileged groups retained advantages. These social divisions help explain the discontent that led to revolutionary change.
