The French Revolution was a period of significant political and social change in France, which took place between 1789 and 1799. It involved the end of the monarchy, the rise of the Republic, and the Reign of Terror, a period of widespread political repression and violence.
The revolution was sparked by a variety of factors, including financial, political, and social issues. The monarchy was deeply in debt, and the government was unable to effectively address the financial crisis. The people of France were also suffering from high taxes and a lack of basic necessities such as food and shelter.
The revolution saw the rise of radical political groups, such as the Jacobins, who were known for their harsh measures and the use of the guillotine to execute their enemies. The Reign of Terror, a period of widespread political repression and violence, was particularly notorious.
