Louis XVI was tried for treason because he wanted France to lose its war against Austria and have his power restored.

Further explanation

Louis XVI was king of France during the French Revolution of 1789. In that year, he had called delegates from all regions of France to participate in national debates and find solutions to the economic crisis that happened in the country. Eventually, this event allowed people to organize and start a revolution. The delegates gathered in Versailles to wrote a new constitution and elected a national assembly. It was only in 1992 that they decided to withdraw Louis XVI's powers and to judge him for his crimes.

The official reason for the trial was the discovery of documents hidden in a secret vault at the palace of the Tuileries, former residence of the king. These documents proved the involvement of Louis XVI in a conspiracy to help the Austrians to win their war against France, and allow him to find back his position at the head of the country. After the French Revolution, the European monarchies made war on France to prevent this change of political system to take place in their countries as well. On January 15, 1793, the deputies voted the death of the former king of France. He was killed on January 21 of the same year by the guillotine, in Paris, on the Place de la Revolution.

The constant presence of diseases or infectious agents within a given geographic area or population group. it may also refer to the usual prevalence of a given disease with such area or group. it includes holoendemic and hyperendemic diseases. a holoendemic disease is one for which a high prevalent level of infection begins early in life and affects most of the child population, leading to a state of equilibrium such that the adult population shows evidence of the disease much less commonly than do children (malaria in many communities is a holoendemic disease). a hyperendemic disease is one that is constantly present at a high incidence and/or prevalence rate and affects all groups equally. so probably family history.
