French Revolution
Topic : France In Revolution, 1789-1968: The major revolutions, the differences between them. The French Revolution was a series of political acts that began in 1789 by reformers in the French Government to take away the absolute power of the King and rich landowners and form a Government elected by the people of France (a Republic). During this period the state's financial crisis brought a social turmoil, triggering the Revolution. The slogan of this Revolution was 'Liberty, Equality and Fraternity". On July 14th, a Parisian mob revolted and stormed the Bastille, symbol of the old regime, and overthrew the monarchy. A few weeks later, the revolutionaries enacted the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen". All Frenchmen were declared equal and free. Public offices and employment opportunities were open to all. By 1793, several groups had formed within the Government. Louis XVI was guillotined. The Terror regime of Robespierre and his Committee of Public Safety brought turmoil, confusion and anarchy in France. The Revolution ends in1799 when Napoleon Bonaparte entered Paris and was crowned the First Consul. Napoleon, a brilliant politician and a military genius was crowned the Emperor of France in 180
Alfred Dreyfus, innocent Jewish General was accused of spying for Germany. But every time there was a Revolution it gave birth to a new ideology for example 'Liberty, Equality and Fraternity' was established. Millions of Frenchmen killed in the War, which never happened before. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was elected President but he called himself the Emperor. De Gaulle organized France's contribution to allied victory and headed the provisional government from 1944 to 1946. In 1848 there was a revolution, which has been called a result without a cause; more properly, it might be called a result out of proportion to its cause. In 1848, Louis Phillipe was overthrown from his reign. Whereas during 1830 there were two parties namely The Ultras and The Jacobians with different views. Soon after the American, British and Canadian military invasion on the Normandy Beaches, De Gaulle entered Paris to head the new government of the Fourth Republic. Although, he was known as 'King of People' he didn't implement entire constitution. The Concordant was signed with the Vatican. This had a negative effect on the economy. In 1928 France was facing a Great Depression. This gave rise to yet another two parties - Collaborators and Resistors. Hence Louis Phillipe fled to England.
