@realeyesreallies8: The French Revolution (1789–1799) was a major social and political upheaval that overthrew the absolute monarchy in France and laid the foundations of modern democratic ideals. Under King Louis XVI, a severe economic crisis, heavy taxation, aristocratic privileges, and the spread of Enlightenment ideas about liberty, equality, and fraternity fueled widespread discontent among the people. The revolution effectively began on 14 July 1789 with the storming of the Bastille prison by the Parisian crowd. It led to the abolition of feudalism, the proclamation of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and the transformation of the monarchy into a constitutional one. Later, during the radical phase dominated by the Jacobins, the Reign of Terror saw thousands executed by guillotine. The revolution effectively ended in 1799 with Napoleon Bonaparte’s coup d’état, but it left a lasting legacy by establishing republican principles that influenced not only France but the whole of Europe and the modern world. #francia #francerevolution #2026 #lyon #pari
