The French Revolution took place in France in the late 18th century. The people were tired of the absolute monarchy of King Louis XVI and expressed their opposition by storming the Bastille prison in 1789. This led to the formation of a National Assembly to create a reform process based on the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. The Revolution had a major worldwide impact and helped establish concepts like human rights declarations and constitutional governments.
