The French Revolution, beginning in 1789 and believed to have ended in 1794, was for the change of the rule of France, from absolute monarchy to republic. Through 5 educational seminars, we learnt about many causes and effects of the revolution, as well as many important figures such as King Louis XVI and Maximillien Robespierre. At the end of this series of seminars, we were asked to create an educational video about the revolution, including the main causes, effects and events of the revolution.
The French Revolution changed an unfair socio-political system which put a majority of French citizens in unfair and harsh living conditions known as the Ancien Regime as well as changing the way of rule in France, introducing a constitution and the work of a Republic. Main events of the French Revolution include the Estates General, the Storming of the Bastille, the Reign of Terror, as well as many others, all explained in the video created by myself.

I think one similarity to the Cuban and French Revolution is that the rebels were tired of their current government system and was not for a power grab. Another similarity was that after the revolution, may aspect of life changed for the better. A difference is that the Cuban Revolution could’ve significantly impacted the world forever and the French revolution only improved France. Another difference is that after the french revolution, nothing on a global scale happened but Cuba joins the communist at the height of the cold war and Cuba is in proximity to the United States. Overall I think you video was very well produced and thoroughly researched.
