What caused the French Revolution? It is believed that the French Revolution was caused by the corruption that the country was trying to achieve within their own nation. Nietzsche goes on to say: “The essential thing, however, in a good and healthy aristocracy is that it does not consider itself as a function either of the kingdom or of the state, but as its highest justification. should therefore accept in good conscience the sacrifice of a legion of individuals.” What Nietzsche is trying to explain is that for a nation to function properly, both societies must become one in order to prevail over the country's fallen. The corruption that had been occurring in France for centuries was soon discovered by the lower classes. One of the ways the slave master class knows how to protect themselves is by creating chaos and protesting against their masters. Nietzsche goes on to say that “by means of which a select class of beings may rise to their higher duties, and generally to a higher existence: like those sun-seeking creepers in Java.” In other words, a human being must not become a slave to his own sentimental and cognitive values, but must always challenge himself to become better and achieve greatness. It is believed that the lower classes came together and challenged themselves against their masters to make France a better place. They defied their masters to have a better life
