LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ

In the 1780s several groups in France were pushing for change in society. One of them was a new class of wealthy city people called the bourgeoisie. They wanted more power. Meanwhile, farm workers and other common people were tired of working hard for the nobles, or rich landowners. Many were angry about paying taxes that nobles did not have to pay. At the same time, French thinkers called philosophers called for new forms of society and government. On July 14 a crowd in Paris stormed an old prison called the Bastille. The crowd released the prisoners that the government had held there. This event is now considered the start of the French Revolution.

The French republic had a new assembly called the National Convention. Soon an extreme group called the Jacobins took control of it. They feared that not enough people supported the revolution. They began a period called the Reign of Terror.

In 1795 a less extreme government called the Directory took power. However, the Directory did not provide strong leadership. In 1799 Napoleon Bonaparte, did away with the Directory. He made himself the leader of a new government called the Consulate. Napoleon grew so powerful that in 1804 he declared himself Napoleon I, emperor of France. Emperors and kings then ruled France for most of the next 70 years. France finally became a republic for good in 1871. 18
