State reasons for the empty treasury when Louis XVI ascended the throne?

The answer is given below

Explanation:

• High debt: The debt was high. This was due to the high interest rate charged which made borrowing more expensive because the lenders realize that the French monarchy defaults on some of their debts. This resulted in them being charged high interest rate.

• Unsuccessful wars: The French Kings led France to unsuccessful and expensive wars. This long years of unsuccessful wars contributed to the drain of France treasury as the wars added to their debt.

• Poor taxation system: The French taxation system at that period was poorly organised because the nobles were left out from paying most of the taxes and the French nobles also stayed out of the trade and industry. The nobles could have easily contributed to the economy through their investment in several indutries.

Lastly, it should also be noted that the

high maintenance cost of the palace of Versailles and the court also contributed to the depleted treasury coupled with the wasteful spending of the kings.
