The French Revolution started in 1789 and there were many people who had been affected by this. People in France were affected the most because the revolution was taking place in their country. But the people outside of France were being affected as well but they were just getting help and other important things while the other people were suffering in France.
The biggest changes that happen to France in this time were things like the political, economic, and social causes. In the political view, King Louis XVI had the power to do about anything he wanted. He was able to start a war on other places, and many other things like send people to prison without even giving them a trial. In the economic view, the people were getting poorer. The first estate had the most problems because they already had little money to start with so they were in even harder times now. And the social causes were getting really poor, especially the 1st estate. In document 4 there was a poor lady in the 1st estate and she told a man about the problems she was having. And she said that they were being taxed a lot as well as new laws that were being made, which were affecting her a lot because they already did not have enough money before the French Revolution started.
The French Revolution affected France the most. I think this because most of the problems are happening in France while the places around them were benefiting from their problems. One of the biggest problems in France was when the new taxes and laws being added to the people. And all of this was happening during the French Revolution when people already were having troubles. Another problem that people had was fear. People feared that they might do something wrong or even look suspicious and they would have to go to jail or get killed. But then when everyone in France had to do something in the army, there were people scared then too. Most of the men had to fight and most of the women had to heal the wounded soldiers. But I think that it was very good to think about how everyone working in the army were working together and helping each other because they all had a job to do in the army.
While the whole country of France was suffering from this revolution, the places around France were having a great time. The countries around France were having much stronger governments and many other things. Some countries had so much power that they were able to overthrow Napoleonic institutions. But still even after the French Revolution, many parts of Europe people were impressed by what the Revolution accomplished than what it failed to do.
The French Revolution ended ten years later, in the year 1799. Many things would not happen in Europe if the French Revolution did not take place. So in the end it was very important. Some of the laws would not have been in the law book of France without the French Revolution.
