An article about the French Revolution

The French Revolution, which took place between 1789 and 1799, was a pivotal moment in
history that marked the end of absolute monarchy in France and the rise of republicanism.
Sparked by social, economic, and political grievances, the revolution saw the common
people challenge the monarchy and aristocracy, leading to the overthrow of King Louis XVI
and the establishment of the First French Republic. The revolution brought about significant
changes in French society, including the abolition of feudal privileges, the Declaration of the
Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and the Reign of Terror. However, it also resulted in internal
divisions, external conflicts, and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Overall, the French
Revolution remains a complex and transformative event that continues to influence political
and social movements around the world.
