The French Revolution occurred between 1789 and 1799, fundamentally altering the political and social landscape of France. It began with the financial crisis and widespread dissatisfaction with King Louis XVI's regime and the feudal system. The revolution saw the rise of revolutionary ideologies advocating for liberty, equality, and fraternity, ultimately overthrowing the monarchy and leading to the establishment of the First French Republic. The Reign of Terror and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte marked critical phases. Its impact extended beyond France, inspiring revolutionary movements worldwide and promoting ideas of democracy and national sovereignty.
