Why was the government’s decision to raise bread prices such a crucial cause of the French Revolution?

Because it caused people to starve and soon cause an uproar in protests, strikes, and soon, war.

Some people were forced to starve to death, eat rats off the streets, and more.

Bread was a stable food item in french households,and the lack of it probably pushed the already starved over the edge
