MONEY TROUBLE
• During the late 1700 Louis the XVI put France in some major finical troubles
• To remedy this he taxed the already poor French Citizens because the Clergy and Noble people were tax exempt.
REVOLUTION!
The stage was set for a
revolution in France, inspired
by the American Revolution
the poor rose up against the
noble class.
A new constitution was in
the process of being written
and was being threatened by
the king.
SAN-CULOTTES
The sans-culottes
movement was important to
the Revolution of 1789 and
later revolutions, because it
was one of the first working
class groups that
incorporated both a political
stance and a social condition.
ATTACK OF THE BASTILLE
In order to save their new
constitution being written by
the New Assembly the
French citizens led by the
Sans-Culottes attacked the
prison Bastille where
weapons and ammunition
were stored.
TAKE OVER
The leader of the Sans-
Culottes was Maximilien
Robespierre.
After the over through
of the French Monarchs
he became the de facto
ruler of France
REIGN OF TERROR
Under the new
government if you were
even accused of treason
you could be put to death,
no questions asked. This
became known as the
Reign of Terror.
DEATHS
Louis the XVI
Marie Antoinette
Robespierre
All of these leaders were executed during the Revolution along with countless others.End of the Revolution
THE END OF THE REVOLUTION
During the revolution in
France one general in
particular began to outshine
all the others. This general
was a 26 year old by the
name of Napoleon Bonaparte.
He over took France, ended
the revolution and expanded
the French Empire.
