Question

please explain french revolution in 100-200 words

Answer 1

A watershed event in modern European history, the French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in the late 1790s with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte. During this period, French citizens razed and redesigned their country’s political landscape, uprooting centuries-old institutions such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system. Like the American Revolution before it, the French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideals, particularly the concepts of popular sovereignty and inalienable rights. Although it failed to achieve all of its goals and at times degenerated into a chaotic bloodbath, the movement played a critical role in shaping modern nations by showing the world the power inherent in the will of the people.

Answer 2

Good afternoon dear...



There were several causes which led to French Revolution. It was the case of series of difficulties faced by the French people. The causes were:
1. The causes of the French revolution can be attributed to several intertwining factors:Cultural: The Enlightenment philosophy desacralized the authority of the monarchy and the Catholic Church, and promoted a new society based on reason instead of traditions.
2. Economic hardship, especially the agrarian crisis of 1788-89 generates popular discontent and disorders causedby food shortages.
3. International: struggle for hegemony and Empire outstrips the fiscal resources of the state
4.bad economic crisis and massive debt
5. costly wars and foreign adventures which cost a fortune but didn't help France or its people (e.g. Seven Year's War or supporting the American, revolution)
6. bad weather which caused crop failure
7. arrogance, corruption and incompetence of the ruling classes. spreading ideas of Enlightement.
