Step 1: Motive

Step 2: Opportunity

• Third estate locked out of discussion with estates-general (tax structure)

Step 3: Action

• Here’s where things get interesting….

The Great Fear

• Starving peasants attacked nobles in the street with pitch forks and farm tools, destroyed their homes, stole belongings

• Nobles freaking

Storming of the Bastille

• Bastille: French Prison where arms were also stored

• Peasants broke down door, freed prisoners, killed guards, stole all the weapons, paraded down street with heads on sticks

• Now the angry, starving, poor peasants who have been assaulting nobles have GUNS

Storming of the Bastille

Bastille Day

• July 14 is a national holiday in France similar to July 4 in America

• We have independence day, they have Bastille Day

• Very symbolic

March on Versailles

• Peasants took the guns they had from Bastille and marched towards the palace of Versailles

• King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette attempted to flee France, were captured, returned to Paris, forced to sign new Constitution (created limited Monarchy) and were eventually beheaded.

March on Versailles

Guillotine

Invented by Dr. Joseph Guillotin

Painless, humane death sentence

Prisoners were paraded around Paris for 1.5 hours prior to beheading

Some doctors believe the head can retain sight and hearing for up to 15 minutes after decapitation

Symbolism

• The dethroning and beheading of the King and Queen of France symbolized:

– The changing of power– Radicalism– The force of the enlightenment– The power of the people

SMART Review and Timeline

New Constitution

• National Assembly wrote Declaration of Rights of Man and of Citizen

• Modeled after Declaration of Independence, full of Enlightenment ideas

• Rights of liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression

• National slogan: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity

New Ruler

• Maximillian Robespierre

Radicals Rule France

• Maximilian Robespierre-started the Committee of Public Safety which was basically a 12 man panel that ran the country and killed lots of people

• Jacobins-believed in eliminating social classes and tried to give the people power

• Reign of Terror-went after people who were against the revolution but killed more of the 3rd estate than the 1st and 2nd estates. The Reign of Terror became a "witch hunt." The Reign of Terror ended with the beheading of Robespierre

Moderate Phase

• People were so tired of chaos and terror

• More than anything they craved peace and stability

• This will usher in a very powerful new leader who promises to restore French peace and greatness. A true nationalist…..
