* Economic discontent: After the Napoleonic Wars, France experienced an economic downturn. The government's strict policies and high taxes made matters worse, and many people were living in poverty.
* Political discontent: The Bourbon Restoration had been unpopular from the start, and many people resented the king's autocratic rule. The government was also seen as corrupt and unresponsive to the needs of the people.
* July Ordinances: The final straw came in July 1830, when King Charles X issued a series of ordinances that severely restricted freedom of the press and the right to vote. These ordinances sparked outrage among the people of Paris, who took to the streets in protest.
* Three Glorious Days: The protests quickly turned into a full-blown revolution. For three days, the people of Paris fought against the king's troops. In the end, the king was forced to abdicate, and a new, more liberal government was established.
