    The French Revolution began in 1789 and lasted until 1799, overthrowing the monarchy and establishing a republic. Many factors led to the revolution, including high bread prices, low wages, and taxes imposed by the Roman Catholic Church and the monarchy to pay off war debts. On July 14, 1789, an angry mob stormed the Bastille prison in Paris, killing the commander and releasing prisoners, which marked a major turning point against the absolute power of the king. The revolution profoundly changed France and modern history by replacing absolute monarchies with republics and liberal democracies.

    Introduction
    The French Revolution was a period of far-reaching social
    and political upheaval in France and its colonies that lasted
    from 1789 until 1799. It was partially carried forward
    by Napoleon during the later expansion of the French
    Empire. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy,
    established a republic, catalyzed violent periods of political
    turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under
    Napoleon who brought many of its principles to areas he
    conquered in Western Europe and beyond. Inspired by
    liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered
    the course of modern history, triggering the global decline
    of absolute monarchies while replacing them
    with republics and liberal democracies. Through
    the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global
    conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle
    East. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the
    most important events in human history.
    Causes of Revolution

    The Storming of Bastille
    Finally, a group of several hundred
    people marched towards the eastern
    part of the city and stormed the
    fortress-prison, the Bastille, where
    they hoped to find hoarded ammunition.
    In the armed fight that followed, the
    commander of the Bastille was killed
    and the prisoners released – though
    there were only seven of them. Yet the
    Bastille was hated by all, because it
    stood for the despotic power of the
    king. The fortress was demolished and
    its stone fragments were sold in the
    markets to all those who wished to
    keep a souvenir of its destruction.
