French Revolution
The moment the third estate proclaimed itself the National Assembly and drafted a
new constitution. The province saw a revolution, and the civilian population
created the MILITARIA military force.
The disparity that the three estates are experiencing led to the French Revolution.
This sparked a civil war over the three estates' desire for a new constitution. As the
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, the third estate proclaimed itself and drafted a new
constitution. King Louis the XVI didn't like this, so he dispatched an army to stop it,
but the common people wouldn't have it and assaulted the Bastille Castle, which is
where the armaments are, instead.
King Louis XVI attempted to escape to another country during the French
Revolution but was apprehended. He received a death sentence after being found
guilty of treason.
Philippine History
The martial law, which many people in the general public disliked, also
contributed to the EDSA Revolution. This sparked a large movement under the
leadership of Ferdinand Marcos to overthrow the constitution; however, this
uprising was less violent because the Filipino people merely marched to
Malacaang to convey their complaints.
The former president Ferdinand Marcos passed away on September 28, 1989, while
living in exile in Honolulu, Hawaii, during the EDSA Revolution.
