    The French Revolution took place from 1789 to 1799 where the common people overthrew the French monarchy and nobility. Causes included an unfair system where the Third Estate paid most taxes but had no political power, while the First and Second Estates, made up of clergy and nobility, had significant privileges. Key events included the signing of the Tennis Court Oath by commoners, the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris on July 14th 1789, and the establishment of a republic ending absolute monarchy in France.
