What three things left France's government in debt before the revolution?

Answer: The three things that left France's government in debt before the revolution were:

1 - France's involvement in the Seven Year's war (1756-1763)

2 - France's participation in the American Revolution of 1775-1783 and also the costs of having a big army and navy to mantain.

3. The costs related to the King Louis XVI's extravagant palace at Versailles and the superficial spending of the queen, Marie-Antoinette

Explanation: The involvement in wars and the extravagant spendings of the kings were the main factors that led France to the Revolution. Since if it wasn't for these financial irresponsabilities, France would still have been prosperous at the time.
