The French Revolution

The French Revolution became with one short event but took a long time to come into effect. At first their were three estates, the Clergy, Nobles, and Peasants which were everyone else. When something was wrong in France usually the King would settle it. But when the King didnt know what to do because the problem was too big he would call a meeting of all the representatives of the three estates. The system was very unfair because if the Clergy and Noble voted for something that would greatly effect the peasant Estate and not them then even if the Peasant estate voted against it it wouldn't matter because it was a three on one vote even though most of the population was in the Peasant Estate.

On July 14th 1789 however everything would change. The people of the Peasant estate revolted and captured the Bastille, a Jail/ Fortress. After that their was a meeting of the Estates and the results didnt suit the Peasant estate so they went off to make their own government. From then on the Revolution was a slow political posses.
