The Bastille being torn down encouraged citizens to revolt and go against the government and nobles. ]]> 2020-10-22 05:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851245980 4057071 https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851330492 August 26th marks the day a list was written by Thomas Paine detailing the rights people had and the limits the government had upon them. This declaration is one of the most important papers in history, as it influenced other civil rights documents and equality.]]> 2020-10-22 05:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851330492 4057071 https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851359288 In 1789, a rumor spread that the king and the nobles were conspiring against them all and were trying to starve them all to death and overthrow the Third Estate. Considering food was continuing to run low and more people were dying each day, this seemed to be the only explanation for the people at the time and were sent into mass hysteria. They added to the anarchy and death by raiding noble estates and burning down property. The inability to act on this from Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI set the publics view on political figures in stone.]]> 2020-10-22 06:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851359288 4057071 https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851440627 A turning point for the French Revolution was the National Convention, an assembly held from September 20th, 1792 until October 26th, 1795. During this time they established a new constitution for France, declarations of war, and most importantly got rid of the Monarchy in favor of a Republic. With Louis XVI and other nobles removed from their position because of the new republic, they were no longer needed in the ongoing battle. This begins one of the most iconic parts of the French Revolution.]]> 2020-10-22 06:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851440627 4057071 https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851544574 After being convicted of treason for attempting to flee France and supposedly working with Austria, who they waged war against, King Louis the 16th was executed by guillotine. His wife Marie Antoinette followed months after. Death by a guillotine became the most quintessential aspect of the French Revolution due to just how many decapitations took place in one time period and how they represent the power people can have when change is needed. ]]> 2020-10-22 07:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851544574 4057071 https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851635772 The Tennis Court Oath was signed on June 20th 1789 by the Third Estate in an indoor court, as they had not been permitted to gather formally by King Louis XVI. They vowed to not disband until France had a written constitution against the King. The dissatisfaction with King Louis would be a big motive for citizens to revolt down the line.]]> 2020-10-22 08:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851635772 4057071 https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851710169 During the Reign of Terror, the period that Robespierre ruled in with the Committee of Public Safety, over 40,000 more people were beheaded, thousands more dying in prison and beaten, making it one of France's bloodiest times. The misery was put to an end on July 28, 1794 when Robespierre was finally removed from power by other leaders and executed along with his allies. The fight didn't stop there, but this was just another step in the development of France that made it the republic it is today.]]> 2020-10-22 08:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/4057071/n4t3i3vwgu00ccf5/wish/851710169
