The French Revolution was a bloody movement necessary for the country to transition from an absolute monarchy that oppressed its citizens to a republic that abolished feudalism and encouraged equal rights for all. However, revolution is not a simple daydream; even after several reforms to the practices of the government, inequality and corruption still remained fervent. In the end, one ruler still came to rise above all the others as Emperor, leading France to once again become a monarchy. This leads to a question, had the revolution truly changed anything, or was it simply a “Reign of Terror” full of bloodshed? Dive into the time period of radical change where countless lives were taken supposedly for the cause of devotion and justice to the country of France with our video; “The French Revolution in Plain English.”
