In 1789, France didn’t just revolt —
it erupted.
The old order — kings, clergy, and aristocrats —
had ruled for centuries.
But hunger, inequality, and Enlightenment ideals
turned whispers into fire.
The Bastille fell.
Not for strategic gain,
but for symbolism.
The people were done watching.
They wanted to write history.
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
declared liberty, property, and resistance to oppression.
But ideals and reality rarely march in step.
The king hesitated.
The queen was hated.
Bread was scarce.
The guillotine came.
Heads fell — Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and many more.
The Reign of Terror began.
Robespierre ruled with logic and blood.
Enemies of the revolution, real or imagined, were executed.
I opened 안전한카지노 while reading about the National Convention.
It felt like watching democracy sharpen its teeth.
But out of terror came change.
The monarchy was abolished.
A republic declared.
Slavery briefly ended in colonies.
Yet chaos invited order.
Napoleon rose — first as savior, then as emperor.
He spread revolutionary ideals —
and crushed dissent with boots and cannons.
Through 카지노사이트, I posted a mural of Marianne, the symbol of liberty,
captioned: “She leads — sometimes through storm.”
The French Revolution showed the world that power can be claimed.
But also that revolution requires care.
That equality is not easy —
but always worth reaching for.
