  2. The French did not like to be ruled by an absolute monarch. The common people did not want to be the only ones paying taxes. So the people rebelled against the king, the nobles, and the clergy. The people wanted liberty, equality, and fraternity.
  3. The American Revolution gave people in some European countries - France in particular - the courage to rebel. The French Revolution ultimately brought Napoleon to power. His thinking about equality changed the face of Europe.
