Bonjour!
Thème : Révolution française
The French revolution was a horrifying event on the ground of France that continued for many years. The revolution started in 1789, with the formation of National assembly by the people of the third estate or the middle class. The reason for the revolution to strike was the bankruptcy due to government debts, the class conflicts, the absolutism rule and the ideas of Enlightenment. The national assembly revolted against the then ruler of France and accused them of spending country taxes on their lavish lifestyles. They also wanted the aristocratic powers of the first and second estate to be abolished who lived and spend on the taxes paid by the third estate.
The French revolution led to a changed political scenario of France; the success and failures of the revolution result in chaos over the country. Among the success, France became a democratic republic with a new constitution. The new rules gave the third estate equal and more power which also led to the rational collapse of the absolute power.
Among the failures, the massacre of 1792, that led to killings of thousands of countrymen and the national assembly sentencing 20-40 thousand men to death were involved. The French Revolution ended in 1799 with the onset of Napoleon as the dictator.
