french+revolution

French revolution as all the other revolutions have a particulary reason why it happened, and the reason why they had French revolution is because of starvation people were dying without food and they were desperate and willing to do anything just for a piece of bread, and they all gathered and basically massacred the other wealthy population that could eat or had food in abundance, which seems to be very fair to me, anyone no matter how good you are but when it comes to the need of food everyone is desperate and ready to do anything.

Before the revolution france were divided into 3 estates: the first one was Clergy which were the munks, priest, nuns Bbhops, cardinals, pope etc the second one was Nobility which consisted of king's family,sword and robe nobles the third one was the commoners or the minorities or everyone else which were the merchants, craftsmen,bourgeoisies

Sword Nobles were the ancient noble families.
 * Robe nobles were wealthy families that bought positions in French government and became nobles after three generations.

 * I SEE** **IT MEANS**


 * I see a huge: castle it looks too old to be a house probably it is a prison
 * I see water :destroy everything
 * I see people running: maybe they are the french philosophe like jean jacques
 * the frenchwordbastille: It means castle

I think since the philosopher were comming up with new ideas or facts so the king or the absolute ruler didnt want them to influence others so the king locked them up in a place called the bastille which means castle in english basically it was kind of jail but there was a storm comming and they didnt have time to escape and which pushed to the french revolution.

The king Louis was a heartless king and dint care too much about his people, all he wanted was power money and the people were staving to death and no one had the right to speak up if not you'd be executed to death but the people were xenophobic decided to revenge and dragged him to the palace and eventually put him on trial and found him guilty of humanities crimes and after a week the king was beheaded.

maximillien robespierre: try to spread the word to other people, start telling others and put ideas in their minds so they can think about it and gathered together to overthrow the government as they did for the king louis XVI. By telling him that he's a traitor.

the book gave some false information saying that hundred of diplomats gathered together to discuss about it but when n reality there was 4 powers or countries which were england prussia austira and russia. missunderstood of the word diplomats.

the big mistake is that the book made it seems that they were punishing france but they were not all they wanted was peace..
