Detailed explanation-1: -The Women’s March on Versailles was an important event at the start of the French Revolution. It gave the revolutionaries confidence in the power of the people over the king. In 1789 France, the main food of the commoners was bread. A poor French economy had led to a scarcity of bread and high prices.
Detailed explanation-2: -The women’s march on Versailles is particularly significant because it was a turning point in the revolution. Their successful storming of the palace proved that the monarchy is subject to the will of the people.
Detailed explanation-3: -Peasants all across France were struggling under his rule and sided with the revolution more than with Louis XVI. The revolutionaries forced Louis XVI and his family to return to Paris and removed the little remaining authority he still had. Louis XVI was, from that point on, viewed as a traitor to the revolution.
