Since this is a 1-mark question, only two brief causes are needed — no elaboration. Examiners look for specific factual points from the chapter: food shortages, unemployment, and rise in food prices/bad harvest are the key phrases. Avoid writing about the Frankfurt Parliament or German unification — those are different contexts. Always link the cause directly to France/Paris for full credit.
