• An important period in the history of contemporary Europe was the French Revolution.
• It started in 1789 and came to an end when Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power in the late 1790s.
• During that period, French citizens levelled and reorganized the administrative structure of their nation, tearing down centuries-old tenets like the absolute monarchy and the feudal system.
• Large-scale opposition to the monarchy and King Louis XVI's pathetic economic policies were to blame for the unrest.
• By outlining its objectives and occasionally degenerating into a tumultuous massacre, the French Revolution played a significant role in creating modern states.
• This revolution fundamentally altered France's social and political system.
• It put an end to the monarchy, feudalism, and political influence of the Catholic Church in France.
• It introduced new concepts to Europe, including as freedom and liberty for the average person, the abolition of slavery, and the rights of women.
• These novel concepts persisted throughout Europe and shaped many of its contemporary governments.
• Prior to the French Revolution, France's populace was separated into social classes known as "Estates."
• The clergy (heads of the churches), the nobles, and the Third Estate made up the First, Second, and Third Estates, respectively.
• Third estate citizens used to be responsible for paying the majority of taxes, while nobility enjoyed luxurious lifestyles and held all of the top positions in society.
• Political clubs helped shape many of the revolutionary France's new political alliances and ideals.
• They went under the names of the Pantheon Club, Feuillants, Cordeliers, and Jacobin Club.
