Summary - The French Revolution is defined as the political upheaval of world importance that began in France in 1789. Inspired by the success of the American Revolution, French citizens overthrew the noble, ruling class and establish a democratic government. The French monarchy under Louis XVI was viewed as oppressive and corrupt and the social structure was rigid, meaning it did not allow for social mobility which eventually forced the people to demand change.
Blog Question - Why was the French Revolution a significant movement in history and would you consider the French Revolution a success?
Response-
The French Revolution was a huge movement in history because it showed that with a little bit of protesting and cooperation people can work out the issues with the government and get what they want. I do think the French Revolution was a success because the people got exactly what they wanted, even if it didn't last long.
