Question French Revolution - Questions

Revolutionary Life
Although the causes of the French Revolution had existed for years, the events of 1789 sparked the beginning of the revolution.

IMAGES:
Tri-color badge (with words "egalite" - equality and "liberte" - liberty)
After a failed harvest caused bread prices to increase, about 6000 Parisian women marched on Versailles.
Symbols of the revolution carried the message of liberty, equality, and fraternity--or death. Words on it: unite indivisibilite de la republique liberte egalite fraternite oulamort
(These are French words, I guess the meaning is in the sentence)
*Since I can't show you what exactly the images look like, try to picture it in your head.

REFLECTING ON THE TIMES
GOOD ANSWERS? HELP NEEDED WITH #1.
1. Why would these images cause European monarchs to react in horror? These images would cause European monarchs to react in horror because...???
2. How might peasants in neighboring European countries react? Peasants in neighboring European countries might do the same thing, encouraged to revolt.

you mean about my homework.
I know you don't understand, but you have to try to picture the images in your head, and then see if my answer to #2 is ok. I am stuck on #1.
Do you know about the French Revolution?

1. Why would these images cause European monarchs to react in horror?

Suppose you're Marie-Antoinette at Versailles, and you see 6000 angry women coming at you. If you do nothing, they will attack the castle looking for something to eat. If you shoot at them, you can have a social revolt.......
At the end you have a revolt.

Then think you're the spanish/english/austrian king, and you heard what has happened in France. And you think ¿If my folk does revolt?

2. How might peasants in neighboring European countries react? Peasants in neighboring European countries might do the same thing, encouraged to revolt.
The answer it's OK, but you should add that it depens of the current king. Beloved kings/very armed kings usually ahve less revolts.

greetings

Sí, me parece que la monarquía francesa no conocía a su gente. Si es verdad que María Antonietta dijo que se coman budin, fue porque no entendía lo que es el hambre. No era por chiste sino por falta de entender que su gente no tenían suficiente comida. Vivían en un mundo muy apartado y por eso la gente odiaba la monarquía del último Luis (not you crotalito)
