Events That Precipitated The French Revolution

Events that precipitated the French Revolution

The French Revolution was one of the conflicts in the existing history of humanity with various periods of violence that convulsed France and whose impact was welcomed to other countries of the world that then also lived facing supporters and oppressors of the system called the old regime.

This fact is an extraordinary event where people begin to believe that almost the whole society can redo.

The French revolution really constituted a crossroads for the modern world because everything begins to take a different direction, born in the middle of the enlightenment the revolution was full witness of how the feudal earth turned its back on the aristocrat tradition and set a new path a new pathtowards the future.

This made Europe the foundations of Europe and its impact affection to the entire world, it is the most important event in Western history, it was the revolution that most altering things considering that it was undone from the Catholic Church, Christianity, of the nobility, of theking and everything that was so fundamental that it was so fundamental before the birth of the modern world.

The French revolution feed the poor bringing democracy to France establishing a new order in society, however, this process had a high price, it was a time for extraordinary hope and ambition and suddenly became the most tragedy morefrightful.

This event that emerged at the end of the 18th century, the current current of thought is enlightened thinking, the ideas of people like Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, argued that human thought could combat ignorance, superstition, and tyranny to build abetter world.

This type of event expanded through meetings held in wealthy people houses, in which intellectuals participated and there was talk of philosophy, politics and literature. The encyclopedia was read, a Diderot and D´Alembert initiative that had in their successive publications with numerous collaborators who wrote thousands of articles to let the illustrated thinking embodied.

The encyclopedia contributed to the discredit of the system, a cultured society that thinks that by itself it was the best way to ensure the end of the old regime. The principles based on reason, equality and freedom were present in the mentality of the French, Europe and all their colonies.

A series of radical changes began with the independence of the Anglo -American colonies, continued with the French Revolution (Rinke and Shulze 2010), this served as impulse so that in the year of 1776 on July 4, the 13 American colonies achieved their independence,France was under the domain of an absolutist anarchy reigned by then by King Louis XVI .

The American and French revolutions were important as reference points for Latin American transformations (Young, 2004, p. 131). The power of the king and the nobility were the basis of this regime, the State was in a rather precarious economic situation, military expenses and bad harvests created a very serious social situation, the people went hungry while the luxury and waste of the waste of theKing and the nobility continued as if nothing borrowing the state coffers more.

Liberalism and conservatism are two ideologies for their reasonably considerations, for their moral, political, economic, social and cultural ideas (Mena 2016). The illustrated mentality plus social discontent caused the perfect breeding ground for the revolution to explode, when the precariousness caused revolt. People went to Versailles of hunger that the king had then had to declare the State in Rota Banking and convene in 1788 the states the statesGeneral, a medieval parliament that had last convened 174 years before, an assembly where the deputies of the nobility, of the clergy and the people gather.

There was then a transaction between the old regime and the revolution, as they were rejected and withdrew titles from the code, until it was totally voted in March 1804. (Pantoja Moran, 2017). The nobility and the clergy claimed the vote for a estate that the majority assured him without giving a consensus, while the people demanded the vote for head that allowed more equality in the vote.

In 1815, the French political world returned to tranquility, a serenity incompatible with all forms of change (Mena 2016). The town of Paris supported their representatives in the streets and in fear that the royal troops were arranged by the strength of the Bastille, after four hours of combat the insurgents took the prison., Bastille took the radicals and the people of Paris a lot of self-confidence.

The king ended up and invite the royalty and the clergy to join the new National Assembly, the name of this Assembly was Constituent Assembly. In this assembly, the rights of man and citizens, the suppression of feudalism, appropriation of the assets of the Church, Civil Constitution of the clergy, the freedom of the press and the drafting of a constitution.

Reflections

• When hunger and poverty threatens a people, subsistence and despair act. How to give rise to their residents should make this change.
• One of the main legacies of the French Revolution are the rights of equality of human beings regardless of race or sex.
• The revolution is not carried on the lips to live on it, it takes in the heart to die for it.
• If there is no justice for the people, that there is no peace for the government. 

Conclusions

The French Revolution was a worldwide motivational icon in the peoples of Europe and even Latin America to demand their rights and improve their quality of life at that time and thereby transcend until today. It was mainly due to the impudence that was for the vast majority of residents of France, monarchical absolutism gave too many privileges to the most influential sectors and which in turn were the ones who had the most money.

It was the enlightened French who promoted this great revolution. They presented their ideas, and made them taken into account by the people. They gave ideological and reasonable basis to this revolution.

The French Revolution was a social and political process that arrived in response to great instability and bad economic organization.
