Q1
The French Revolution
How did parisians react to the rumour of
arriving of king 's troops into the city?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Women's March on Versailles, also known as the October March, the October Days or simply the March on Versailles, was one of the earliest and most significant events of the French Revolution. The march began among women in the marketplaces of Paris who, on the morning of 5 October 1789, were near rioting over the high price and scarcity of bread. Their demonstrations quickly became intertwined with the activities of revolutionaries, who were seeking liberal political reforms and a constitutional monarchy for France. The market women and their various allies grew into a mob of thousands. Encouraged by revolutionary agitators, they ransacked the city armory for weapons and marched to the Palace of Versailles. The crowd besieged the palace, and in a dramatic and violent confrontation, they successfully pressed their demands upon King Louis XVI. The next day, the crowd compelled the king, his family, and most of the French Assembly to return with them to Paris.

These events ended the king's independence and signified the change of power and reforms about to overtake France. The march symbolized a new balance of power that displaced the ancient privileged orders of the French nobility and favored the nation's common people, collectively termed the Third Estate. Bringing together people representing sources of the Revolution in their largest numbers yet, the march on Versailles proved to be a defining moment of that Revolution.

Parisians reaction to the rumour of arriving of king's troops into the city

Explanation:

• France saw bread as the primary meal in 1789. A weak French economy led to a food shortage and high prices. The people faced hunger. Women would go to  to buy  bread for their families , only to discover that the little food that was available was really costly.
• A large number of women in a Paris market began to revolt on the morning of 5 October 1789. They wanted to purchase bread for their families. They were marching thru Paris demanding bread at a reasonable price. More people followed the march, and soon thousands of marchers were there.
• The people wanted King Louis XVI to come to Paris and see what was happening. They needed him to see how the people were being treated and how they've been handled.
• The exit  of the king and queens demanded by the French revolting women to leave Versailles and come back to the Pairs marked the power shift and radical reforms that overtook  France.
