Page 2: Revolutionary Actions and Early Reforms
The storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, marked a crucial turning point in the revolution.
Highlight: Though only seven political prisoners were held there, the Bastille's significance lay in its arms cache and its symbolism of royal authority.
Quote: "The governor of the Bastille had a standoff with the troops and called a cease fire. Once the revolutionaries got to him, they cut his head off and put it on a pike."
Key developments followed:
- August 1789: Declaration of Rights of Man
- October 1789: Women's March to Versailles
- 1791: Failed royal escape attempt and Constitution
Example: The Women's March demonstrated the power of popular action, as citizens forced the royal family to relocate from Versailles to Paris.
Page 3: War and Escalation
The revolution entered a more radical phase in 1792, marked by war and increasing political tension.
Highlight: Louis XVI declared war on Austria in April 1792, seeing it as a win-win situation: victory would boost his popularity, while defeat might restore his absolute power through foreign intervention.
Key events:
- Prussia joined Austria against France
- The Brunswick Manifesto threatened Paris
- Jacobins took control of the Paris Commune
- Storming of the Tuileries led to royal imprisonment
Vocabulary: The Brunswick Manifesto was a threatening declaration by Prussia's military commander that intensified revolutionary fervor.
Page 3: War and Political Developments
In 1792, Louis XVI declared war on Austria, creating a strategic dilemma:
- Victory could restore his popularity and acquire wealth
- Defeat could lead to monarchist intervention and his restoration
Highlight: The Brunswick Manifesto, issued by the Prussian army general, threatened to overthrow the revolutionary government and restore the monarchy.
Example: France's initial attack on the Austrian Netherlands failed, leading to Prussia's entry into the war on Austria's side.
Page 4: Radical Revolution and Military Reforms
1793 marked a radical turn in the revolution with Louis XVI's execution in January. The National Assembly expanded the conflict by declaring war on Britain and the Dutch Republic.
Definition: The Levée en masse was France's first military draft, requiring all able-bodied unmarried men to serve in the army.
Highlight: This military reform created Europe's largest army, dramatically changing the war's dynamics.
The Committee of Public Safety, led by Maximilien Robespierre, became the de facto government, initiating a period of intense political persecution.
Page 1: The Origins and Early Stages
The French Revolution emerged from a perfect storm of social, economic, and political factors. France's support of the American Revolution and the Seven Years War had left the government in severe debt, while King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette maintained their lavish lifestyle at Versailles.
Highlight: While nobility lived in luxury, 98% of the French population suffered from famine and bore the burden of taxation.
The Convocation of the estates general brought together France's three social classes:
- The Clergy
- The Nobility
- The Third Estate
Definition: The Estates General was France's general assembly representing the three social classes, called by Louis XVI to address the nation's financial crisis.
Example: The voting system was inherently unfair - despite representing 98% of the population, the Third Estate's 600 representatives were easily outvoted by the combined 600 representatives of the clergy and nobility.
Vocabulary: The Tennis Court Oath was a pivotal moment where members pledged to create France's first constitution.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
