Did you know that the French Revolution started in 1789? Oh really? Yeah, also, it began in the states general in may, On July 14 of that same year, the Bastille was stormed: in October, Louis XVI and the Royal Family were removed from Versailles to Paris. Wow, so how did that go? Must have sucked Also, get this, on june 1791 he failed to flee paris for Varennes wow, how did that end up? it didn't go as he planned. he then was sent to trial in december of 1792, and then he was sadly executed on january 21st, 1793 oh poor him, so what happened next, and how did he die, was it a be-heading? that would be interesting to watch from the front row! well, maybe for some people, for me, seeing a gory head isn't my way of saying, "this rocks!" it wouldnt be so nice if you were the one being chopped... ohhh... to me thats good entertainment ok.... Moving on... on January 1793,the revolutionary government declared war on Britain why? what was it for? world domination or something? haha, nice try government. actually yes, they did want world domination. which had been carried on, with short intermissions, since the beginning of the reign of William and Mary, and which would continue for another twenty-two years. ohhh, that is terrible! nearly fourteen hundred people were guillotined in Paris alone. it was a lloonngg reign of terror! The Convention was replaced in October of 1795 with the Directory, which was replaced in turn, in 1799, by the Consulate. Napoleon Buonaparte became Emperor in May of 1804. so that was a change in the revolution. The Committee of Public Safety and the Revolutionary Tribunal were instituted immediately after the execution of the King. The Reign of Terror, during which the ruling faction ruthlessly exterminated all potential enemies, of whatever sex, age, or condition, began in September of 1793. that was another terrible incident that had happened. the French revolution was a terrible time in history, im glad i wasnt there when that happened. yeah, me too. its still not over yet. this is getting interesting... The French Revolution was not only a crucial event considered in the context of Western history, but was also, perhaps the single most crucial influence on British intellectual, philosophical, and political life in the nineteenth century. look at what it was like:... you wanna go tough guy?! huh? do ya?! the french revolution does that explain everything? *Inspired*
