- MEETING OF THE ESTATES GENERALS

- Yeah, that's a great idea.
- Hey, that's not fair!
- THE TENNIS COURT OATH
- Never separate and to reassemble wherever necessary until the constitution of the kingdom is established
- THE STORMING OF THE BASTILLE
- Let's get them!
- The meeting of the Estates Generals happened on May 5th, 1789. It was summoned by King Louis XVI to discuss the crucial financial problems France was having. He was hoping that maybe they could find a solution. Their final decision was to tax the third estate even more than they were before. The third estate was already financially troubled and this certainly did not help. They didn't like the idea so much that they started their own group called the National Assembly. This was very big and the starting point of the revolution.
- THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN AND CITIZEN
- Rights for all!
- The Tennis court Oath happened on June 20th, 1789. The third estate was locked out of the Estates General building by King Louis XVI because they were demanding more say in the meetings since they made up 97% of France's population. King Louis XVI thought that this would stop them, but he was wrong. Instead, they went to the next nearest building that would hold them all. There, they signed a document and vowed to never separate and to reassemble wherever necessary until the constitution of the kingdom is established. This was a huge step forward for the third estate.
- THE REIGN OF TERROR
- Please! We didn't do anything!
- The storming of the Bastille was on July 14th, 1789. The revolutionaries stormed Bastille to gather weapons and ammunition. They also hoped to free some of the political prisoners that were held there. De Launay was the French governor of Bastille and when they got there he tried to make the surrender. The revolutionists refused and demanded that they lower the drawbridge. Eventually, De Launay and his men lowered the bridge and the revolutionaries attacked. Unfortunately for them, there were only seven prisoners and no ammo or weapons. Angered, the revolutionists took down De Launey, beat him then beheaded him and carried him through the streets. This caused many outrages and wasn't the best way to get their point across.
- THE RISE OF NAPOLEON
- I am Emperor Napoleon!
- On August 26th, 1789 the Declaration was the rights of Man and Citizen was formed. This provided protection for many individuals and it granted people civil rights. It also guaranteed property rights and made sure that taxes would be paid by all. The declaration was made by Marquis de Layfayette and Thomas Jefferson then later presented to the National Assembly. It was a great way for the people of France to get the rights they wanted and deserved.
- The reign of terror started on September 15th, 1793 and ended on July 28th, 1794. during this time many massacres happened and countless deaths. People were publicly executed for any reason, whether serious or ridiculous. This was led by Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins. This caused mass outrage and hysteria, people were fearing for their lives. It was a huge set back for the revolution.
- Napoleon started at the bottom of the military and gradually climbed his way up to the top. He was famously known for winning multiple wars for France. He was a great military leader, best known for his deception and surprise. Eventually, after getting some political power he crowned himself the emperor of France. Napoleon was a good leader, but it didn't last very long.
