Louis XVI ascended his throne in France around 1774 when his grandfather Louis XV passed
away. He became king at the age of 20 in 1774, which was an inherited post. Louis XVI was
from the Bourbon family of kings. Louis XVI faced the French Revolution because of major factors like lack of food, subsistence crisis, empty treasury due to the extravagant lifestyle of kings, prolonged war debt, and the cost of supporting the American War of Independence. These factors combined to cause a crisis in France that ended the monarchy and gave rise to the Republican Nation that was established on September 21, 1792. Louis XVI was the monarch when the estate's general Assembly meeting was called to collect more taxation, which was considered the turning point of his end.
