These revolutions introduced several ideas that are still in effect today, bringing democracy among other ideas to both France and the United States.

few months in1789, king Louis lost his power to make laws, and eventually people’s elected representative voted for his execution. The causes of the French revolution were very complex.

Evidently portrayed in the photo below, Euge `ne Delacroix, The Death of Sardanapalus. “Besieged by enemy troops and with little hope of survival, Sardanapalus orders that his harem women and prized horses go to their death with him. At the right, a guard stabs one of the women as the king looks on.” However, the tenacious women of the French…

The difference between the French revolution, and previous revolutions, was that unlike previous revolutions (particularly those in Europe),it was one of the first modern revolutions to successfully overthrow a monarchy and establish a republic. It also led to the spread of new ideas across Europe and much of the Western world. Lasting from 1789 to 1799, the French revolution set about replacing and completely abolishing the previous monarchy, with a far more modern government, establishing a…

Louis XVI learns that France is on verge of bankruptcy in 1786. The reason France had so much debt is because they funded the American War of Independence, but America never paid them back. In order to try and save the French economy, Louis XV raised taxes. After multiple failed tax reforms, France continued to go deeper into debt.
