The French Revolution
He French Revolution began 1789 with the meeting of states general in may. on july 14 of the same year the bastille was stormad : in october louis xvi and the royal family were remoed from versailles to paris.The king attempted unsuccessful,to flee paries for varennes in june 1791.A legislative assembley sat from october.1791 until september 1792 when in the face of advance of the allied armies of Austria,Holland,Russia and sardinia.it is replaced by the national convention.which prodaimed the Republic.The king was brought to trial in December of 1792,and executedon january 21,1793,In january of 1793 the revolutionary goverment declared was on britain a was for world dominion which had been carried on ,with short intermessions ,since the begining of the regin og william and mary, and which would continue for another twenty two yers.The industriazation of Europe, like the French Revolution, left a permanent mark on society.Life as it was described in the 18th centtury changed drastically; classes shifted,wealth increased, and nations began assuming national identities.Describing this industrialzation as a revolution is apt- despite the longer timeframe involved,the social consequences and economic change that the world has faced because of industrialzation easily equate the political effects that any of the Eurpean revolutions had.the changes can not be underestimated in importance to society today.
