    The Great Famine of 1789-1792 stands as one of the most significant preconditions to the French Revolution. It was a period marked by widespread food scarcity, severe hunger, and social unrest. Although the famine itself was a direct consequence of several intertwined factors, it was also the tipping point that exposed the deep flaws within the French system of governance and society. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the famine, exploring its causes, the impact on the population, and the broader societal repercussions that contributed to the revolutionary atmosphere of the late 18th century. 
    At the heart of the famine was a series of poor harvests in France, exacerbated by harsh weather conditions. The years 1788 and 1789 saw a succession of bad weather, including a particularly harsh winter, followed by storms and a devastating hailstorm that destroyed much of the grain crops. These climatic anomalies caused a dramatic reduction in the food supply, especially in the vital grain harvests. With bread being the staple food for the majority of the population, the shortages led to skyrocketing prices. As bread became unaffordable for many, hunger spread rapidly, and it wasn’t just the peasantry but even urban dwellers who felt the pinch. 
    This agricultural crisis was further compounded by the weak response of the French monarchy and its institutions. King Louis XVI and his ministers were largely ineffective in addressing the immediate needs of the people. The government, which was already burdened by war debts and an inefficient taxation system, failed to ensure that food distribution was prioritized. The monarchy’s inability to manage the crisis led to widespread dissatisfaction and eroded any remaining faith the people had in their rulers.
