French Revolutionary movement

The French Revolutionary movement was a period in late 18th-century France marked by widespread social and political upheaval. It was driven by dissatisfaction with the monarchy, inequality, and economic hardship. Citizens sought to abolish absolute monarchy, challenge privilege-based society, and establish liberty, equality, and fraternity. Key events included the storming of the Bastille, the rise of revolutionary ideals, and the Reign of Terror. The movement ultimately led to the end of monarchy, the rise of a republic, and significant changes in French society, influencing ideas about democracy and human rights worldwide.
