A2 History - French Revolution

for my individual assignment for A2 History, ive decided to explore the causes of the French Revolution.

so my question will be something like "to what extent were King Louis XVI's policies significant in causing the French Revolution" (itll be similar, if not this one).

but, as ive only started to read about the revolution, my knowledge is quite limited.
so i was wondering if theres anyone out there who has studied the French Revolution? Ill appreciate it if you could reply or pm me. i have a few questions.

Thank you!

Your reading should tell you, that the causes of the French Revolution is a disaster zone. There's an absurd amount of factors. I'd personally struggle to write about the causes in anything under 10 000 words. Read Lefebvre's Causes of the French Revolution to gain an insight to its barely comprehensible complexity. I really can't recommend it, and I've personally considered it as well. It's a dauntic, borderline sadistic prospect.
