The French Revolution was a period of radical social, political, and economic change in France that began in 1789 and lasted until 1799. It marked the end of absolute monarchy, challenged the privileges of the nobility and clergy, and led to the rise of republican ideals based on liberty, equality, and fraternity. The Revolution was fueled by social inequality, financial crises, and the influence of Enlightenment ideas. Key events include the Storming of the Bastille (14 July 1789), the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, and the eventual execution of King Louis XVI. It ultimately reshaped France and influenced revolutions worldwide.
