The フランス革命 was a significant period of social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 to 1799. It marked the end of absolute monarchy and the rise of democratic ideals. The revolution began with financial crises and widespread discontent among the common people, leading to the formation of the National Assembly and the declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Key events during the フランス革命 included the storming of the バスティーユ prison, the execution of ルイ16世, and the Reign of Terror led by ロベスピエール. The revolution ultimately paved the way for the rise of ナポレオン・ボナパルト and significant changes in French society and governance.
