The call of the estates ended the Old Regime. The Clergy made up the First Estate, nobility made up of the second estate, and bourgeoisie, farmers, craftsmen, and peasants were the Third estate. The king was considered part of no estate.

After they got removed from the Old regime the Third Estate forms the National Assembly. They then swear to the Tennis Court saying that they will not leave until.

This violent attack on the government by the people of France signaled the start of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a fortress built in the late 1300s to protect Paris during the Hundred Years' War.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man states that all men are equal under law. Women and children were not affected by this document.

Parisian market women marched in to Versailles to protest about the little amount and high price of bread.

King Louis XVI trys to flee with his family from France but get caught at Varennes. They get sent back to Paris where the King has to go on a trial.

Revolutionary France was considered dangerous by the other European monarchies who viewed it with both fear and anger.

After the king loses his trial he is sentenced to death. He is executed by the guillotine.

1000s of people are sentenced to death by execution that is caused by conflict between two political parties the Jacobins, and the Girondins. The leader of the Jacobins, Maximilien becomes the new leader of the Revolution.

He was the leader of the Jacobins and is executed and the power of the Jacobins fall with Robespierre. The Girondins gain more power as a result.
