A Revolução Francesa

Synopsis

The French Revolution was a period of radical social and political change in France from 1789 to 1799. It marked the end of monarchy and the rise of democracy in France.

The revolution began with the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, and was fueled by widespread discontent with the monarchy, high taxes, and food shortages.

The revolutionaries, inspired by Enlightenment ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity, established a new government based on these principles.

The revolution also saw the rise of figures like Maximilien Robespierre and Napoleon Bonaparte, who played key roles in shaping the course of the revolution.

The French Revolution had a lasting impact on France and the rest of Europe, leading to the spread of democratic ideals and the end of feudalism.
