Estates-General of 1789
The Estates-General of 1789 was the first time that the Estates-General was gathered by the French king since 1614. King Louis XVI of France enacted the meeting to discuss the economic crisis of France, whose people were starving due to the Little Ice Age's destruction of crops and were further exacerbated by the underlying schemes of the Templar Order. From May to June, the Estates-General convened numerous times, but failed on each instance to reach their projected goals. Thus, in June 1789, a revolutionary National Assembly was formed to counteract the problem.
