The video above is a video by Kevin Lu and me about the French Revolution, called “The Dawn of A New Era”. In this video, we talked about the causes of the revolution and key events. We explore moments such as the convening of the Estates General, The Tennis Court Oath, the Storming of the Bastille, The Great Fear, the Declaration of the Rights of Man, the First Constitution of France, the war against Austria, the Edict of Fraternity, execution of King Louis XVI, the Siege of Toulon, Reign of Terror, the Battle of the Pyramids, and the Constitution of the Year VIII. The revolution started because of food shortages, bankruptcy, political discontent, the influence of the American Revolution, Enlightenment Ideas, and social inequality. The revolution affected France by ending the Monarchy, spreading revolutionary ideas, and reducing the catholic church’s power. The French Revolution causes many political movements and revolutions worldwide. Since this revolution had a worldwide effect, we name this video “The Dawn of A New Era”. Thank you for watching.

I like the hook you added and the funny bits in the video. i really like the part where you “accidentally” bring in a drawing of poo instead of a pyramid. an interesting difference is the french revolution went from a monarchy to a democracy while the Mexican revolution was just changing the leader until they found someone who brought the change they wanted.
