The French Revolution was a period in which a series of important events took place, linked to great political and social changes in France. The causes of it are tied to a social structure in which the majority of the population paid very high taxes without any return on quality of life, such as security, schools or other public services.

Similar to Brazil, in which the capital moved from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia, far from the people, the nobles (descendants of the former feudal lords) and the French royal family lived in opulence at the Palace of Versailles, where the queen spent money Of the people buying expensive jewels and making strange hair parades in the form of ships, while the population starved to death in Paris.

At the same time, people who spent most of their lives eating only bread faced a period of poor harvests, so that even there was nothing to eat. Indifferent to everything, the nobles and the royal family contributed to an increase in poverty by contributing money for the US to fight for independence, so the situation got even worse.

Moreover, merchants or bourgeois, even wealthy, were treated with contempt and humiliation on the part of the nobles and the royal family, and even their possessions withdrawn and forced to pay dear taxes, which practically carried almost everything they had.

Thus, as in the Arab spring, hunger and high food prices, coupled with a lack of government concern, and the desire of traders not to always be second-class citizens and to reduce the high taxes they were charged , Led the majority of the population to attack the nobles (including the kings), the churches, and to support the universal declaration of human rights, which established the supremacy of the law and the equality between people.

In this sense, one of the most important events of the revolution was the fall of the Bastille or the Taking of the Bastille was the invasion of the main French prison by the population revolted on July 14, 1789, in which the population won one of the main symbols of power Real, being that the day that this occurred, the date of July 14 is still celebrated every year, being the main French holiday.

Thus, it took place through the mobilization of the French people against the king, the clergy and the nobility, the population armed, leading to a series of events and the production of texts, ideas, and innovative practices in the history of humanity, leading to the notion The supremacy of the law, human rights, among other perspectives.

What happened? The taking of the Bastille, the imprisonment of the king, the attack on the nobles and the clergy, as well as the decapitation of the royal family through the guillotine, after trial. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, a constitution, an assembly for the production of laws, the confiscation of the goods of the clergy, and terror against the enemies of the revolution were also produced.
