Last question: Use any 3 of the above sources
Refer to at least 3 of the above sources in your answer, explain
(in your own words) why the French Revolution was considered a period of violence and bloodshed
but also brotherhood and liberty.
The French revolution was considered a period of violence and bloodshed but also brotherhood and
liberty as I have said in the first source is that, The Bastille was attacked by an angry and aggressive
mob. The prison had become a symbol of the monarchy's dictatorial rule, and the event became one
of the defining moments in the Revolution that followed. In that time lots of people died and thats
when lots of the violence happened. The French were considered as a brother hood by the
explanation in source four when I said, the people being represented in this picture, as is conveniently
stated in the caption, are the people to whom the French Revolution gave a voice. That is basically
saying all of those people who have had to live their lives suffering in silence now had an opportunity
to right the wrong done by the Clergy and Nobility. Source five shows that the French had liberty
because they are free.
