The French Revolution changed more than France. Its democratic ideals still inspire reformers around the world. Read on to find out more about the famous people on both sides of the French Revolution.







The French Revolution started in 1789 and lasted ten years. At the start of the Revolution, most power and wealth were in the hands of the nobility and the royal family. The Roman Catholic Church was very powerful, and France was almost bankrupt.


The world turned upside down






Attack of the Bastille






General Bonaparte at the Council





By 1798, when General Bonaparte seized power, the French monarchy had been abolished and tens of thousands of the nobility, the great landowners, and the clergy had been either exiled or executed. France had moved to a more democratic system of government and a fairer court system. But France was still in financial trouble, and was threatened with invasion from several European neighbors that wanted to roll back the revolution’s changes.
