Summary - The French Revolution is defined as the political upheaval of world importance that began in France in 1789. Inspired by the success of the American Revolution, French citizens overthrew the noble, ruling class and establish a democratic government. The French monarchy under Louis XVI was viewed as oppressive and corrupt and the social structure was rigid, meaning it did not allow for social mobility which eventually forced the people to demand change.
Why was the French Revolution a significant movement in history and would you consider the French Revolution a success?
The French Revolution was a big movement in history because it the government was changed and not many people (the citizens of France) didn't like the fact that their new queen was Austrian and that she was wasting the country's money on clothes and unnecessary items. I do believe that the French Revolution was a success.
