Louis XVI and the French empire was very strict about taxation in france. The taxation in france was very unfair to the french people who were making not enough income or no income at all. the people that were nobles or people commited to there religion like priest had very little to no taxes to pay. It was a very unfair taxation that King Louis XVI made so he also didnt have to pay taxes. The french people were very mad and the start of a revolution began. During this period of time of the french revoultion a person who gained lots of power was Napolean Bonaparte. He gained so much power that he eventually become emporer of France. He decrease taxation rates so it was fair for everyone in france. But he also did horrific events in france that made him gain his power. he use guillotines to kill his own people who were against his believes of the french revoultion. Later on in naploeans empire he started a war with the russians and lost. he tried to get people to forget about the event but then the russians looked for revenge and attacked france. Then napolean was sent to exile while King Louis XVI was emporer of the french empire. He went back to his old habits with his original tax rate which the french did not like. Napoelan attacked and did not get exiled. The king eventually went to britain to hide which gave napolean power again. Eventually napolean dies and KIng louis XVII takes power as the emperor of the french empire. He kept the same tax rate as napolean did and the french citizens.
