The French Revolution in 1789 was one of the most brutal and significant events in world history. The French Revolution of 1789 had many different causes. The Enlightenment and the political leaders led France to financial problems, causing the French Revolution. The people wanted change and decided to rebel against their government. Nobles enjoyed privileges like not having to pay taxes, having all the power and freedom politically, and could out vote the commoners.

The Reign of Terror in France was not justified. This claim can be supported by looking at three areas: external threat, the internal threat, and the methods. The external threat was not enough to justify the Reign of Terror. One example of this is that “churches are soon closed by revolutionary government” which is wrong, because people should be able to choose what they believe in (Document A). Another example is that the “Government denies legal counsel to accused enemies of the revolution” (Document A).

The French Revolution was a time of a corrupted government and people who wanted an immediate change about many issues. These people who wanted a sudden change were called radicals, and they made a great impact on not only the government, but the French Revolution as a whole. They led to changing the government into a republic and later resulted in the killing of thousands of people. These issues during the French Revolution were because of the leader(s) who saw the issue, but did not make an instant change, and if they did make a change, it did not help society. Radicals were shown in many different groups during the Revolution, one type was called the Mountain.

They go to Switzerland but cannot live happily, for a fresh tragedy awaits them. Their eagerly awaited son is stillborn and Catherine who can never have a normal delivery, dies after a Caesarian operation. The mood of the novel overall is very pessimistic. Tragedy lurks behind every action and, as such, robs it of meaning. Men and women, caught in the war, despair and move to bitterness and

The Reign of Terror In September 1793 to July 1794, the Reign of Terror killed over 40,000 people in France using the guillotine a machine that made it a simple way to execute a mass amount of people. The Reign of Terror was led by no other than , Robespierre. He was trying to form a new government but instead caused thousands of people to be massacred. Ultimately, The Reign of Terror in France was not justified because the threats did not require it, the methods were too extreme and It did not support the ideals of the revolution.

Boy manifests his guilt through a change in identity which he believes serves as a mask to the wrongful acts he commits during his lifetime. At one point in his army experience, Percy Staunton becomes Boy Staunton and “it suited him admirably” (Davies 109). His new name truly defines him “because he summed up in himself so much of the glory of youth in the post war period.

Especially during the Reign of Terror, many innocent people were murdered. This, however, was caused by the mass hysteria of the French people. The Terror was a period of time when nobody was safe; just an accusation of saying or doing something against the revolution could have you sentenced to death by guillotine. A similar situation can be seen in the people of Salem in the late 1600’s- mass hysteria engulfed the town, and the townspeople blamed their neighbors for witchcraft to have the opportunity to buy their land, or, even worse, simply because they didn’t like them. The same thing most likely ended up happening during the French Revolution, and could have caused many of the murders during the

Subsequently, Bolt dismisses this perception as an “old, sexist game of blame-the-witch”, encouraging his audience to view his challenging of this assumption as making him morally superior and his argument as more valid by association. Bolt goes on to say that Harry is not a “lost boy … he’s 38 when men are meant to be men”. This dismissal of Harry as immature and childish combined with Bolt’s use language such as “mewling” conjure an image of a babyish, wailing child. This, contrasted against Prince Harry being an adult, encourages the audience

Opening paragraph The French Revolution was a major failure and a minor success. After all of the blood shed, the laws, civil rights, and codes did not get instituted effectively and did not represent the values that the citizens had fought for. Examples of this were the Napoleonic Code and Declaration of Rights of Man. Another reason it was a failure was because during the revolts and reforms more than 40,000 men and women died.

Liberalism affected much of Europe during the Eighteenth Century. It started with the French wanting to get property rights and the lower class people wanting the right to vote, and it eventually conformed with nationalism and wanting to combine countries based on the language people spoke. Britain even had their share of Liberalism, and it especially heated up during the time of Gladstone and Disraeli. Liberalism did not always win, but it changed the political and economic atmosphere all throughout Europe.

In the French Revolution the storming of the Bastille was one of the key events that revolved around political issues. On 14 July 1789, furious revolutionaries had stormed the Bastille. In fact, it was not only a source to make a statement in opposition to the Monarchy, but also the mob gained weapons that were stored in the prison. The mob, including a few of the King 's soldiers, stormed the Bastille. After a while, prisoners were set free.
