Conditions Present Before a Revolution Takes Place People from all social classes are discontented. French society was divided into three groups: the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate) and everyone else (Third Estate).

Although the clergy and nobility were exempt from taxes, war debts caused new taxation on the First and Second Estate. This created much hostility between the people and the government.

CHAPTER 4- Greece and iran,1000-30 bce The Persian Empire (and the Hellenistic Greek kingdoms that succeeded it) brought together, in Eastern Europe, western Asia, and northwest Africa, peoples and cultural systems that had little direct contact previously, thereby stimulating new cultural syntheses.
