 At the time, France was ruled by King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and
France was going through a major economic crisis, mostly caused by aiding the US
in the US revolution.
 Used a regressive tax system that was very disliked by the people.
 King Louis XVI was the last king of France.
 Necker was the financial advisor for the king and
was often seen as being sympathetic to the lower
class.
 King Louis XVI was rearranging his court and
fired Necker July 11 1789, The next day word had
gotten out to the public that their favorite higher
up was fired, and that ignited the already fed up
people of Paris.
 The bastille is a heavily
armored building where
the French government
would keep political
prisoners and store
weapons.
 Represented royal
authority and power in
the center of Paris.
 Civilians first raided armories
and managed to take over 28,000
muskets.
 The only thing this “National
guard” was missing was the gun
powder, and they knew just
where to find it.
 On July 14 1789, civilians
stormed the bastille, dragged the
governor of it into the streets,
beat and killed him, then
paraded his severed head on a
pike.
 Over the course of the next
few months the bastille was
tore down and reduced to a
pile of rubel, and the bricks
were given away and sold as
emblems of the publics
victory.
 Just weeks after the victory at the bastille, a
new declaration was being worked on.
 This declaration would get rid of social
classes, stating that all humans are equal,
this meaning there was no more nobility or
monarch.
 It also demanded justice under reasonable
laws.
 On the morning of October 5, 1789, woman
gathered in the marketplace of Paris and
began rioting about the high prices and
scarcity of bread.
 The mob grew to thousands and they raided
the armory, and headed straight for the palace
of Versailles.
 The crowd overthrew the palace and they took
the royal family back to Paris, so it would be
easier to “keep an eye on him”
 Once the royal family was returned to Paris
many people saw it as the end of the
revolution, but it would take another two
years for the first constitution of France to
be signed, on 3 September 1791.
 The king tried to escape Paris in June 1791,
being that he was prisoner of the people. He
and the royal family were disguised as
slaves and were trying to link up with
royalist armies in Varennes but were
recognized and caught.
 He was forced to accept a constitution
taking away his title of king, and was put to
death by guillotine 1793.
