French Revolution
Factors that led to the Revolution
Meeting of the Estates General
The French Revolution was an uprising in France against the monarchy. It went on from 1789-1799.
The Tennis Court Oath
Five factors that led to the revolution were: Growing resentment among lower classes, new ideas about government, serious economic problems, weak/indecisive leadership, and food shortage.
The Storming of the Bastille
During the French Revolution the Estates-General was a meeting of the three estates within the French society which included the clergy, nobility, and the peasant classes.
The Great Fear
The Tennis Court Oath displayed a belief that political authority came from the nation's people rather than the monarchy.
The storming of Bastille took place on July 14, 1789. This marked the beginning of the French Revolution. A series of events occurred in Paris that day which led to the overthrow of King Louis XVI.
The Great Fear was a period of panic during the French Revolution when peasants rioted and caused violence. These riots swept through France and were sparked by the power of rumor along with economic concern.
