Mr. Anderson | SS20-2 French Revolution Timeline Task

The French Revolution, a tumultuous period that shook the very foundations of France and
reverberated across the world, unfolded in a dramatic timeline of events that forever altered the
course of history. It began in 1789 when the Estates-General was convened, marking a turning
point in the nation's history. The storming of the Bastille in July of that year symbolized the
people's demand for liberty and equality, while the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the
Citizen proclaimed revolutionary ideals.

THE REIGN OF TERROR | DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN AND OF THE CITIZEN
ROYAL FLIGHT TO VARENNES | STORMING OF THE BASTILLE | ABOLITION OF FEUDALISM
THE TENNIS COURT OATH | WOMEN’S MARCH ON VERSAILLES | EXECUTION OF KING
LOUIS XVI | REVOLUTIONARY WARS IN FRANCE
