Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Estates-General (1789): An assembly representing the three estates of France—clergy, nobility, and commoners—that convened for the first time since 1614 to address the financial crisis and political issues facing France. Its failure to resolve tensions contributed to the revolution.

  • Storming of the Bastille (1789): A pivotal event on July 14, 1789, where revolutionaries stormed the Bastille prison in Paris, symbolizing the uprising against tyranny and the start of widespread revolutionary action.

  • Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789): A fundamental document proclaiming the equal rights of all men, liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression, reflecting Enlightenment ideals and serving as a cornerstone of revolutionary principles.

  • Reign of Terror (1793–1794): A period during the French Revolution characterized by radical political purges, mass executions by guillotine, and the dominance of Robespierre, aimed at defending the revolution from its enemies.

  • Fall of the Monarchy (1792): The abolition of the French monarchy and the execution of King Louis XVI, marking the transition from monarchy to republic and a radical shift in political power.
