FRANCE
Do you want to know?
Ok, let me give you a
brief account: in 1789
the Estate General was
called to put on a new
tax. France was in
financial crisis and the
bourgeoisie took control
and suspended the tax.
Finally, after a
series of bloody
wars and a Coup
D’état Napoleon
Bonaparte achieved
the place of Consul
and there was a new
constitution and a
new legislative body
Then, there was a lot of chaos,
and a second revolution began.
Jacobins and Sans culottes
succeeded in abolishing the
monarchy and France became a
republic…
