What is France Revolution?

Answer 1

The French Revolution (1789–1799) was a pivotal period in the history of French, European and Western civilization. During this time, republicanism replaced the absolute monarchy in France, and the country's Roman Catholic Church was forced to undergo a radical restructuring. While France would oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the First Republic fell to a coup d'état, the Revolution is widely seen as a major turning point in the history of Western democracy—from the age of absolutism and aristocracy, to the age of the citizenry as the dominant political force.

Causes of the French Revolution
Many interrelated political and socioeconomic factors contributed to the French Revolution. To some extent, the old order succumbed to its own rigidity in the face of a changing world. It fell to the ambitions of a rising bourgeoisie, allied with aggrieved peasants, wage-earners, and individuals of all classes who had come under the influence of the ideas of the Enlightenment. As the revolution proceeded, and as power devolved from the monarchy to legislative bodies, the conflicting interests of these two once-allied groups would become the source of conflict and bloodshed.

Causes of the French Revolution include the following
A poor economic situation and an unmanageable national debt were both caused and exacerbated by the burden of a grossly inequitable system of taxation, the massive spending of Louis XIV and the many wars of the 18th century
A resentment of royal absolutism
An aspiration for liberty and republicanism
A resentment of Manorialism (seigneurialism) by peasants, wage-earners, and, to a lesser extent, the bourgeoisie
The rise of enlightenment ideals
Food scarcity in the months immediately before the revolution
High unemployment and high bread prices resulting in the inability to purchase food
A resentment of noble privilege and dominance in public life by the ambitious professional classes
A resentment of religious intolerance
The failure of Louis XVI to deal effectively with these phenomena

If you mean 1789 ... The people starved because their king Louis the 16th was not all there ... What i mean to say is that he was a little stupid, did not know what was happening and believed his advisers who made a point of telling him what suited them. The people revolted. They began with storming the Bastille (Prison) where they believed many of theirs were rotting to find only a handful of prisoners but by then their anger had grown so they marched to the palace and seized the king and queen and their son Louis the 17th. Their leaders were named Robespierre, marat, Danton, Saint Just and many more.

Their first tactic was to arrest all nobles and those who supported them (Usually worked for them) and decapitate them with the guillotine. Then revolutionaries took a taste of what power involved so they fought among themslves. two groups were formed (Out of the original group). Les Girondins and les Montagnards (Montagnards were so called because they sat at the top of the assembly) The latter harder than the first group. They fought among themselves leading to most of them to be executed! Part from Marat who was stabbed to death by his lover/maid Charlotte Cordet, most of them finished in teh guillotine including the father of the guillotine, Docteur Guillotin!
The French anthem 'La Marseillaise' was their emblem is still remain the national anthem. No one knows what happened to Louis the 17th and following the French revolution and after the emperor (Napoleon) there was an attempt to restore the monarchy but if failed. If you read historical books about the revolution you'll find that a lot of those poor under the monarchy remained poor under the revolution!
