THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION:

Jul 14, 1789 – Nov 9, 1799

It started when four hundred years ago many French people like Europeans and these Europeans were divided into three states: Clergy, nobility, and the lowest commoners and above these all was a king but this king was being questioned by the enlightenment who promotes the use of science. The revolutionary ideas of science began to spread to the public for their knowledge. When the king tried to increase taxes on commoners so everyone was angry and got rid of the king which became their independence-day for France. French adopted a declaration that “That men are born and remain free and equal in right”. The newly introduced guillotine was a punishment for every law-breaker. Once again, the revolution began and ended by their monarchy which had great impact on Europe and world history and led a foundation for modern state rules by people in their surroundings.
