Revolutionary France

Revolutionary France refers to the period around 1789-1799 when the French people overthrew their monarchy, ending centuries of absolute rule by kings. Driven by economic struggles, inequality, and desire for political change, the revolution led to the rise of ideas like liberty and equality. It resulted in the abolition of the monarchy, the execution of King Louis XVI, and the establishment of a republic. The period was marked by intense social and political upheaval, the Reign of Terror, and significant reforms that influenced future democratic movements worldwide.
