The document summarizes the key events and outcomes of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799. It describes the causes of revolution, including excessive spending under Louis XIV, debt from supporting the American Revolution, and unequal representation of the three estates. Tensions rose and the National Assembly was formed after the storming of the Bastille. The Declaration of the Rights of Man established new rights and freedoms. The Revolution grew more radical over time, leading to the rise of Robespierre and the Reign of Terror from 1793-94. After this, the Directory reorganized the government until Napoleon's rise to power. The Revolution dramatically restructured French politics and society and spread ideas of nationalism.

A Time of Turmoil
The French Revolution was one of the most influential events of modern history. The ten year period from 1789 to 1799 when France went from a Monarchy to a Republic, to a Reign of Terror, to Dictatorship was one of the most tumultuous times in European history.
Myth and Reality
Much myth and romantic legend has been written on what some politicians would like the French Revolution to have been, but the reality was that the French Revolution was a monstrous horror. In the name of “liberty, equality, fraternity or death!” over 40,000 people lost their heads to the guillotine, 300,000 people were publically executed by firing squads, drownings and other methods of mass murder and ultimately many millions died in the 25 years of war and upheavals that resulted.
the revolution the French people were divided into three groups:
The first estate: the clergy
The second estate: the nobility
The third estate: the common people (bourgeoisie, urban workers, and peasants).
Legally the first two estates enjoyed many privileges, particularly exemption from most taxation
