The French Revolution (17891799) was a period of radical social and political upheaval in French and European history. The absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed in three years. French society underwent an epic transformation as feudal, aristocratic, and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from liberal political groups and the masses on the streets. Old ideas about hierarchy and tradition succumbed to new Enlightenment principles of citizenship and inalienable rights. The French Revolution began in 1789 with the convocation of the Estates-General in May. The first year of the Revolution witnessed members of the Third Estate proclaiming the Tennis Court Oath in June, the assault on the Bastille in July, the passage of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in August, and an epic march on Versailles that forced the royal court back to Paris in October.

The watchwords of the French Revolution were liberty, equality and fraternity. Maximilien Robespierre believed in them passionately. He was an idealist and a lover of humanity. But during the 365 days that Robespierre sat on the Committee of Public Safety, the French Republic descended into a bloodbath. 'The Terror' only came to end when Robespierre himself was devoured by the repressive machinery he'd created. This drama-documentary tells the story of the Terror and looks at how ...

I want to be free, to live in equality, and give a kind of peace to France. Verse 2: We knew that Louis was running against our cause So in Bastille we broke in and we went off Destroying everyone and everything in sight This began the mark of a ten year fight We stormed Bastille, but we still got no participation To help resolve this economic situation What must we have to do? To get you realize and see the truth The oath proposed by the Legislative Assembly Said that France would be a constitutional monarchy But then after our first meeting Govern went to chaos and we lost three things 1.The war left us with a ruined economy 2.The legislation stopped the monarchy 3.The infamous Louis XVI We lost him to the invention of the guillotine [CHORUS] Verse 3: Now by this time France was running out of control This was when the Jacobins started to grab hold Prosecution was dread Cause thousands of innocent people were getting beheaded These two dudes Jacques Herbet & Roux They convinced the convention of their political views Engaged in a dispute with the Girodins Who didnt believe in the republic motion In 94 Robespierre life got put to an end The Thermidorians took over & wanted revenge On most of the Jacobins who Contributed to the reign of terror a year prior to In the final years of the French Revolution The Directory was created by the constitution And in France there was peace So Just for now I will live in ease

Note: This was a school assignment, which I had to do for history. The Assignment was to create a storybook for a 11 year old explaining the key features of the French Revolution. Me being 16 years old thought, "Wouldn't it be even better if the kid would just have to sit and watch instead of read?". In most cases they do. But for the readers I also put text in for them. However I doubt you are able to read it in this video. Hope you enjoy it.
