Task Four: Conclusion (5 marks)

What changes have occurred because of the Historical events or period you have investigated?

French revolution changes a lot of French systems. I investigated many information of French revolution, and I could understand French Revolution well and the revolution lead French to right way. Because People can get the governmental rights. The revolution which began in France in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille’ on 14th July, when the people of Paris attacked and took control of the Bastille prison. Four years later, the French king and queen, Louis16 and Marie Antoinette were killed by having their heads cut off by the guillotine. Many other people of high rank were also killed and France became a republic (=a country without king or queen).During the Revolution, the people demanded ‘Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity’, and the events and ideas of the revolution had an important influence on European history. Napoleon also changed the way that France was organized, and established a new system of laws, called the “Napoleon Code” on which modern French law is based.
