The French Revolution was a major turning point in European history that transformed France from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy and, later, a republic. Rising social and economic pressures increased tensions under the inefficient rule of King Louis XVI and the nobility, leading to the storming of the Bastille and the abolition of feudalism. The Revolution soon turned more radical under figures like Robespierre, establishing a repressive Reign of Terror to consolidate power and defend the Revolution from foreign threats, at the cost of thousands of lives. After the overthrow of Robespierre, a moderate republican system was established, though it struggled with instability until the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Karl Marx was a philosopher who believed that societies are divided between the proletariat working class and capitalist owner class, leading to inequality. He envisioned a communist revolution that would create a classless society with equal distribution of goods. Old Major's speech in Animal Farm references these ideas, urging the animals to revolt against their human oppressor, Mr. Jones, and create an "Animal Farm" where all animals are equal. The song "Beasts of England" sung by the animals functions as a protest song, parodying "The Internationale" and promoting the ideals of Animalism that will be established after the revolution.

The monarchy was abolished, leaving France a democratic republic but still unstable amid conflict with other European nations.
