Table of Contents
Abstract
The french revolution was a decade of political and social upheaval in France between the years of 1789 and 1799, which affected not only the french society and government, but had considerable repercussions for the rest of Europe as well. The primary changes that occurred as a result of the revolution included a switch in the french government from an absolute monarchy with a privileged clergy and aristocracy to a government ideally guided by nationalism and citizen rights, and principles of the Enlightenment philosophies of the 18th century . Though the country would be variously ruled in the following century, the effects of the initial revolution were lasting and are considered crucial to a study of the country's history, primarily because it resulted in the destruction of the ancient regime, which had been the rule in France since the Middle Ages.
