1789- The storming of Bastille and the Enlightenment ideas of people like Rousseau launched the French Revolution. A few years later on January 21, 1793 King Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine. After this, the revolution turned radical and thus started the Reign of Terror. On November 9, 1799 Napoleon staged a coup d'etat and declared himself France's first consul. This started the beginning of the Napoleonic era and ended the French Revolution.
