The peasants were unhappy because they lacked food to eat, and to survive. Also King Louis IVV forced them to pay taxes. The King did nothing to stop the local aristocrat's animals wandering all over their land eating the crops. They worked at farms for nothing, the amount of money they get paid was little or nothing while the aristocrats had plenty.

It sort of can be compared to the way things are going now with gas prices, sooner or later the "peasants" will get tired of being gouged by the oil companies and bring them down.

And... not to mention... the peasants were at the bottom of the social class. they didnt have many rights, so they couldn't get different or better jobs.

They were angry because the peasants had to pay taxes and other richer people didn't have to at all. This was inequality and they wanted justice for everybody. They had to do chores and the Estates-General didn't come very often and they wanted him to come at least once every three years. The French were also upset about the complete monarchy in the country. Which meant that there was no government, the King just made all the decisions. They received low wages and along with the heavy taxes this led to poverty, which was unfair.

I think the 'kick start' for the French Revolution was expensive wars abroad, no money for the peasants and them having to eat rotten food because all food was going to the Army.

The expression "let them eat cake" attributed to Marie Antoinette is as a result of an old french law - that if a baker ran out of bread, he would have to sell cake at the same price.

I guess it's because they thought the revolution wasn't extreme enough. there were still 'enemies' of the revolution and they had to be gotten rid of. So came the reign of terror.

What is so revolutionary about the American Revolution War?

The definition of revolution is to throw over a current government and replace it with a new one. A revolution is usally ignited if the governed feel a lack of freedom or a violation of their human rights. In the American revolution though, economics, I think, was the biggest factor. The American Revolution only started because of actions by Great Britain like the Stamp Act or Tea Tax. The colonists of course dissagreed with this ("No Taxation without Representation"). That is why the American Revolution was ignited. Otherwise, if England would not have been so focused on making the best profit themselves (the idea mercantalism plays a major role here too), the colonists would have been happy and satisfied with the way it was.

Were peasants in the middle ages generally poor?

Most medieval peasants were poor. In fact, most were serfs, who could not own land and were not allowed to move away from the manors on which they lived. A few peasants were independent farmers who held their own land, and some of these were referred to by contemporary writers as wealthy. They were, of course only wealthy relative to other peasants, and had very little wealth compared to the lords.
