The result of the political upheaval in France during 1789 was the French Revolution, which fundamentally transformed the nation's political landscape and society. Sparked by a combination of economic distress, social inequality, and Enlightenment ideas, the revolution led to the overthrow of the monarchy, the establishment of a republic, and widespread changes in governance. Key events included the storming of the Bastille and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The revolution eliminated feudal privileges and significantly impacted future democratic movements worldwide by promoting concepts of individual rights, citizenship, and popular sovereignty, ultimately leading to decades of political turbulence in France.
