Study Notes
- The French Revolution took place between 1789 and 1799, leading to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and eventually the Republic and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
- France was in crisis during the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, with mounting debt and loss of prestige for the monarchy.
- The Estates-General was convened and the Third Estate (the majority of the population) formed the National Assembly, which became the Constituent Assembly and set out to give France a Constitution.
- The monarchy attempted to block the Assembly's actions, but after the storming of the Bastille and a rebellion in Paris, the king was forced to withdraw his troops and concede a National Guard.
- A revolt in the countryside led to the suppression of feudal privileges and the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, which abolished absolute monarchy and established political and civil liberties.
- The Assembly reformed the administration of the state, introduced proportional taxation, and passed the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which made priests and bishops elected officials paid by the state.
- The Constitution of 1791 established France's first constitutional monarchy, with the power to make laws and direct policy in the hands of the Legislative Assembly.
- Austria, Prussia, and Russia declared war on France, leading to the proclamation of the Republic and the trial and execution of the king and queen.
- The Convention, elected by universal male suffrage, saw deep divisions between the Montagnards (radicals) and the Girondins (moderates).
- The period of the Terror, led by Robespierre, saw the repression of political opponents and the execution of thousands, but was eventually ended by the Thermidorian Reaction and the establishment of the Directory, which gave way to Napoleon's rise to power.
