French Revolution was a major political change in France from 1789 to 1799. It began with protests about inequality, high taxes, and the power of the monarchy. Large crowds gathered in cities like Paris.

In 1789, people stormed the Bastille, a prison that symbolized royal power. King Louis XVI lost control, and the monarchy was eventually ended. Leaders such as Robespierre played important roles during this period.

The revolution led to the creation of a republic and new laws. It is studied through documents, artwork, and written records from the time.
