1. Describe the French Revolution using evidence from the video

On the video it says,the French revolution was a fight between the Bourgeois with the King.
French’s king was Louis XVI and he was the absolute monarchy of French. The Bourgeois
wanted to have their rights because the king was putting pressure on them to pay high taxes.
 The Bourgeois were speaking up and they were so mad at the King. Then Robespierr killed the
king by Guillotine because he was against the wealthy and he was able to kill the king because
the Bourgeois was supporting him, later on John of Arc moved Robespierre because he said the
Bourgeois didn’t want one dealer. He was a Napoleon and emperor of France. He went to
invade Russia but he couldn't because it was so cold. So the revolution was a change in France
and the people used the Enlightenment thinkers' ideas to get ideas for the government to have
a good change.
