The French Revolution was a revolution in France from 1789 to 1799. The French Revolution led to the end of the monarchy, and to many wars. King Louis XVI was executed in 1793. The revolution ended when Napoleon Bonaparte took power in November 1799. In 1804, he became Emperor.
Before 1789, France was ruled by the nobles and the Catholic Church. The ideas of the Enlightenment were beginning to make the ordinary people want more power. They could see that the American Revolution had created a country in which the people had power, instead of a king. The government before the revolution was called the "Ancient (old) Regime".
Causes of the revolution
Many problems in France led up to the Revolution:
✔✔Under the Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI, France had fought against Prussia and the British Empire in the Seven Years' War
✔✔They also fought against Britain again in the American Revolution. They borrowed much money to pay for the wars, and the country became poor. The king and queen considered themselves representatives of God on earth and thus, did not pay attention to people's sufferings
The high price of bread and low wages given to workers caused the ordinary people to suffer from hunger and malnutrition. This made them dislike the rich nobles, who had the money to eat well and build huge houses
✌✔The Roman Catholic Church, which owned the most land in France, put a tax on crops called the dime (tithe) which hurt the poorest and hungriest people as they were not able to afford the tax.
✔✔Ideals of Enlightenment. Many people disliked absolute rule by the royalty and the nobility. They could see that in other countries, such as in the United States, which, in this time period, had just been formed, people like them had more power over the government. They also wanted freedom of religion.
