The French Revolution

by Amos

When did it happen ?It happened in 1789 to 1799. It happened in France.

What was used during the Revolution to stop people from disagreeing?

The people who did not agree were killed on the guillotine. There was 17, 000 people killed with a trial but an unknown number of people dies without their trials.Some of the things involved in were the guillotine. The guillotine is an idea for beheading people. You pull a cord to bring the blade up. When you let go of the cord, the blade drops and slices the neck.

what was it about

The French Revolution was about people disagreeing with the monarchy of France. People got angry and they argued and fought for their rights and for a change. This situation is similar to that of the Eureka Stockade where miners fought for their licence rights. People found out that the king and queen had whatever they wanted. They had more money and more power. They weren’t sharing the wealth of the country because people were starving.

The Bastille prison The 14 of July is known as Bastille Day in France in honour of the storming of the bastille. It was a prison for the politicians.The revolutionary government stormed the bastille to get weapons. It was a success!

The three Estates The three estates were three groups of people.The first estate was the clergy. The second estate was the nobles. The third estate was all others.The first and second estate didn’t pay taxes.

The start In 1787 and 1788 the french had bad harvest and the third estate had not that much food and were starving.people then became unemployed.
