Society During the French Revo

The French Revolution was a time of period where social and political was a disruption in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799. This time of period affected Social Structure of France prior to the French Revolution. The factors that caused this revolution was due to having a bad government system, weak superiority, and inequality of the classes of people in France during the war. In this research, I will define and explain how Social Structure contributed to the French Revolution Resentment of royal authoritarianism. The three estates that social structure consists of are first estate which are the clergies, second estate known as the Nobleman, and third estate which are the Bourgeoisie, peasants, and workers. The Revolution did not omit sharp distinctions among the social groups, neither did it alter the distribution of wealth. This caused them to divide into these three groups called as estates.

The French Revolution was a time of political and social rebellion in France. It began in 1789 because of the inequalities that existed

France during the 1780s was under the control of King Louis XVI which led to the economy, political state and social state to struggle. The people were being taxed heavily, they were not allowed a say in their government, and were born into the jobs they had. The French wanted a change in the government which ultimately started the French Revolution. A revolution is the overthrowing of a government or ruler by the governed and then substituting another. The people of France were tired of their poorly led government and wanted things to be different. Although there were many causes of the French Revolution, because of the economy, the political state, and the social aspect the French Revolution began.

The 16th century is often referred to as “The Rise of The West” by modern day historians due to the colonization and Imperial expansion of the Western world by European powers. Expeditions appointed by European monarchs to discover routes to the abundant resources in China and the Indies brought some of the first European explorers to the shores of present day Canada. French explorer Jacques Cartier was delegated the task of finding a western passage to the East and when he crossed the Atlantic and landed on the shores of present day Newfoundland in 1534 he thought he had found Asia. When Cartier inserted a cross in the soil in the Gaspé Peninsula declaring it for France he unknownly fabricated the first colony of New France. Cartier, escorted by several ships searched the Eastern coast of North America for precious goods to transport back to King François I of France to solidify backing for future expeditions. Between 1534 and 1541 Cartier made three voyages to North America each time bringing captives and furs back to France in an attempt to illustrate the wealth of these new found lands. After failed attempts to secure a permanent settlement near Stadacona (present-day Quebec City) and further failed attempts to colonize lands further south the French turned the attention to their own lands where a religious civil war was waging. It was not until over sixty years later that the French returned to North America with a new approach in mind.

There were many early expeditions from Europe to North America, most in search of a

The American Revolution, along with many revolutions occurring throughout Central America, were all directly inspired by the French Revolution of the late 1700’s. Evidence of this can be seen simply by looking back at world history. History shows that many philosophies of the American Revolution were actually ideas that either closely parallel or are directly taken from the writing of various French scholars, such as Voltaire and The Baron De Montesquieu. The very essence of American politics, Democracy, is in actuality, a French concept as well. Democracy was originally created following the French Revolution to replace the Monarchy.

The French society of the 14th Century was very hierarchical, with a strict social structure of people at the top, the Royal House of Capet/ Valois, and the peasants at the bottom, this is called Feudalism and much of Europe was structured this way. At this time France was not unified as it is today, Dukes and the younger sons of the kings ruled different areas and English Lords, under the English king controlled the western cost . The danger that came with this was that area could have more loyalty to their local lord rather than the king, and some areas such as Burgundy became an independent power at this time . Religion was a large part of society in 14th Century Europe and really until the French Revolution, France was a very strong Catholic nation. Religion was the centre of people’s lives and the Church was a big influence on people’s attitudes. “The 14th Century was a time of turmoil, diminished expectations, loss of confidence in institutions, and feelings of helplessness at forces beyond human control” This is how the 14th century is described, this is due to the amount of changes the whole of Europe went through, from changing borders, natural disasters, and social unrest.

The French revolution took place from 1789- 1799 and there were many changes to the Church that occurred during this time. Catholicism was the official religion of the French state and recognised the Pope as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Most of France's population was Catholic until it was challenged by the French Revolution were Churches were closed down and religious worship suppressed. From than on when the Catholic Church had returned but never the same again.

The nobility of the Kingdom of France has been evaluated by various scholars of history. There is something to be said, however, for those who chronicled their impressions while living them in the 17th and 18th centuries. The excerpts of Charles Loyseau’s A Treatise on Orders, written in 1610, and Isabelle de Charriere’s The Nobleman, written in 1763 provide two very different glimpses on the French nobility from differing time periods. From these two accounts, it is clear that there was a marked shift in the way some viewed the nobility and their role in the operation of the French state. While Loyseau praises the nobility nearly wholeheartedly,

Religion has not been a good topic in the world to talk about with you fellow peers; there will usually be an argument involved with the discussion. People don’t all believe in the same religion or a lot of people may still be alive. We have multiple wars just over who believes in what. Right now people are getting killed over what they believe in and why they don’t believe in what the killers want them to believe in. This outrage even tracks back all the way back to The French Revolution; a time period when French citizens razed and redesigned their country’s political landscape. And back then, the executions for the killings of non-believers were terrible and caused so much torture. This is a very important part of history, even though it doesn’t seem it many deaths occurred throughout the Revolution by religion and if we don’t see this, the same may happen to us.

During the Pre-French Revolution men and women had worn very elegant but simple pieces. Silk and velvet had been replaced by cotton, and frill, ruffles, and bright colors were considered a fashion don't. Women stopped wearing corsets, and started showing off their natural shape. Though silk had been replaced, men and women had to wear it in court to distinguish their social status. During the revolution fashion remained the same simple, and brought back Greek style. During World War II bags that doubled as a gas mask were designed for men and woman. Glow in the dark buttons and pins were also designed for men and woman to prevent accidents when they would turn off their power. Siren suits were also designed for men and women, but women's suits

The 18th century was extremely important to our everyday lives. The events that occurred in that era took humanity down a peculiar road that caused essential development to our general way of thinking. One of the most notable events was the French revolution. The French revolution was one of the first of its strain, it was one of the first to remove a monarchy. It was a social and political revolution that shook the west and the world with destruction and chaos spreading new ideas and creating a melting pot for revolutionists to share and impose actions. The revolution started in 1789 and continued arguably until 1799 during those eleven years a lot had happened with many key events, and many crucial characters; one of them were, Louis XVI

Liberté, égalité, fraternité was the cry of freedom that countless people used to propel them through, and to the end of the French Revolution. This long period of social, political and economic change in France lasted 10 years, starting in 1798 and ended with Napoleon Bonaparte. The French Revolution greatly affected all of Europe at the time and continues to represent the embodiment of revolution to this day. This constant struggle between the heavily taxed, burdened, and unrepresented third estate and those higher created an environment of monumental change for everyone. In the years leading up to the French Revolution, new beliefs and ideas were reaching every corner of Europe creating the thought that men should live free of oppression. However, in France the leader Louis XVI lead like a tyrant leaving the people impoverish and angry. Through the analysation of numerous circumstance present during the Ancien Régime, such as an inferior fiscal leadership, massive debt, and the forthcoming of new ideas during the Enlightened period, it can be concluded that the means for this revolution were justified as it is in our essence to revolt for a change.

One of the well known revolutions is the French Revolution which occurred in the years 1789 to 1799.

After watching The Square and reading the Reflection on the Revolution in France, I find it’s plausible to say that Edmund Burke will disagree with the Egyptian revolution for three reasons.
