1. The Enlightenment era saw the spread of new ideas across Europe through salons, publications like the Encyclopedia, and a growing middle class with free time. 2. In France, the weak King Louis XVI faced economic troubles and resentment of the nobility's special privileges, fueling the French Revolution. 3.
