, CHAPTER TIMELINE
In 1774, Louis XVI became the ruler of France.
Around the year 1789, the people of France were feeling very
unhappy. They were struggling because they had to pay a lot of taxes
because of the Old Tax Regime, there wasn't enough food, and some
people had more privileges than others.
On the 5th May 1789, King Louis XVI had to gather an important
meeting called the Estates General. This meeting was to talk about
new taxes.
On June 17, 1789, a group called the Third Estate said, "We're
important too!" and they called themselves the National Assembly.
They wanted to make a new set of rules for the country.
Then, on June 20th, the members of the Third Estate got together in
an indoor tennis court in a place called Versailles.
On 14th July 1789, a big event happened. The people of Paris were
very angry with the king, and they broke into a place called the
Bastille. This was a place that showed how the king had too much
power.
In August 1789, something good happened. The National Assembly
decided that everyone should be equal and fair. They abolished
feudal privileges of taxes.
In October 1789, a group of women walked to Versailles. They
wanted bread to eat, and they also wanted the king to come back
to Paris. They were very determined!
In June 1791, the National Assembly completed the constitution.
They said the king couldn't have all the power anymore. Now they
were a team, and the king had to follow their rules.
