Which economic reason increased public anger in France?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Rising price of bread
Rising bread prices greatly worsened the condition of poor people and workers because bread was their staple food. Poor harvests reduced the supply of grain, raised prices, and created a subsistence crisis that increased resentment against the monarchy. The abolition of taxes would have provided relief, not angered the public. Exam tip: Remember food shortage and costly bread as key economic causes of the French Revolution.
