What was the French Revolution?
The French Revolution was a revolt against King Louis XVI by the people from France in the 1700's. They knew their rights weren't being practiced under the divine rule of their monarch and they decided to do something about this. They had many reasons to do so; the unfair distribution of taxes, most people not having a say in the parliament and having an absolute monarch who ruled by Divine Right.
