The Women’s March on Versailles

The lesson here is to never make women angry. They may start a revolution.

The late 1700s saw much upheaval in the way of life among the French. One of the main concerns had centered around food.

In 1774, Turgot, Louis XVI’s controller-general of finances deregulated the grain market after several poor harvests. This led to the Flour War in 1775.
