What role did salt play in the French Revolution? It was more impactful than you might think. revolution
remained in place for centuries. Gabelle was haphazardly enforced, and some regions were exempt while others, like Paris, had to pay twenty times that of other areas in the country. The already troublesome situation worsened quite dramatically in the 18th century when King Louis XIV monopolized all French salt.
Hénaut and Mitchell write that the gabelle had been the cause of “periodic peasant rebellions” for multiple centuries before the French revolution. Then, at the end of the 18th century, it was a cause of revolution. Once the revolution had begun, there were many competing visions at play as to what the new France should look like—but one thing just aboutagreed on was that the gabelle was oppressive and had to go. Consequently, it was finally discontinued in 1790.
