French Revolution and France Overview

The French Revolution began on July 14, 1789, during the Storming of the Bastille, and ended on November 9, 1799, with the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire, when Napoleon Bonaparte seized power.

The causes were economic inequality, political inequality, discontent among the commoners, the influence of Enlightenment ideas, the weakness of the monarchy, and the failure of Louis XVI to address the crisis.

The effects were the end of the absolute monarchy, the rise of the republic, the spread of revolutionary ideas throughout Europe, the abolition of feudalism, and the rise of nationalism in France.
