Hey guys, welcome to Hip Hughes History. In the next 10 to 15 minutes, we're going to take a look at, in a very broad kind of way, the French Revolution. This lecture is really designed for maybe a world history course, maybe a sophomore level high school student, an introductory course to that type of world history or European history. So I'm definitely not going to go into a lot of details and a lot of vocabulary. We're going to keep it tight. So multiple choice, thematic essay, we're going to try to give you enough. So I hope that your attention is geared and I hope that you're ready to go as we start by looking at five causes of the French Revolution.
