Creation of the National Assembly (June 13, 1789)

# data[].attributes.body
National assembly was made up of the 3rd estate and some of the 2nd and 1st. They wanted fairness when it came to votes. All 3 estates received 1 vote. The 3rd estate took up 98% of the population, so it seemed pretty unfair. They made their own constitution.

1788 France was in the verge of bankruptcy. There were bank riots and it was pretty much out of control. King Louie brought the estates general for a meeting in 1789. The votes were unfair so the 3rd estate came up with an idea of everyone getting 1 vote. They called themselves, the National Assembly. The king locked them out of their building, so they moved into a near-by tennis court to make their constitution.

Storming of the Bastille (July 14, 1789)

# data[].attributes.body
People were suffering from no food and vast taxes. These taxes were used to cover Louie's debts. There were troops all around Paris and it was menacing. People didn't like it and they stormed a place for firearms and cannons. But they needed gunpowder. Negotiations were made, but it burst into a battlefield.

This was a period of panic and fear for the peasants. Peasants gathered weapons and attacked the Bastille and good houses. They mostly wanted to destroy the records in which the feudal dues were recorded. This started because of a rumor going around of an “aristocratic conspiracy” by the king to overthrow the third estate. To calm the peasants down, the National Constituent Assembly created and introduced the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

France is being torn apart. Europe is the enemy and Robespierre isn't doing any good. Any suspicious activity and you're gone. You could be doing anything slightly weird and they'll be on the chase. Police spies scattered around the country, so there was a pretty high chance of getting accused unfairly.

Execution of King Louis XVI (21 January 1793)

Executed with a guillotine, a thingy used for executions. He was executed off a vote of high treason. It's kinda funny because no one voted "not guilty." So basically, he had it coming.

Napoleon Defeated in Russia (June 24, 1812)

# data[].attributes.body
Russians are smart people? Have you seen their president? I wish he came over here. Napoleon came in with about half a million troops and left with about 10,000. The weather did most of the damage, but so did the Russians. They burnt everything down once the French were in sight. That left them with no food, water, or shelter. That made Napoleon an easy target.
