The French Revolution

The French Revolution started in 1789. This was a important revolution because it change the course of history and left an impact of modern history worldwide. The French Revolution had many reason why it started; some were tired of a aristocracy, which is a form of government in which power is in the hands of a small, privileged, ruling class. France was still in a economic crisis because of the Seven year war and the American Revolutionary war. The people who fought in the war were many the lower class against the upper class, but this expanded to England and Austria, which were the two major ones who wanted the French.
