A historic event that revolutionized the whole world

Hello Friends,

today I come with a small review of the French revolution, a revolution that not only promoted the rights of the workers in its time and finally dignified collective work, but also brought with it economic, military, even philosophical changes in the Europe of the late seventeenth century, and not only did it remain mere advances in this continent, but the repercussion of this social explosion functioned as a force of impetus for the American social outbursts a posteriori.

Seventeenth-century France suffered from many factors, such as the poverty of the proletariat, the abuse of power by the bourgeois (a bourgeois was a person with a lot of money), abuses even within religion, the excess taxes of the time, and so on. As a result, many people emerged with views opposed to that of the monarchy of that time, because it did nothing to help improve the collective condition, but on the contrary worsened it by making worse and worse decisions. Jean-Jacques Rousseau being one of the main exponents of free and independent ideology... This Genevan during his life was in charge of planting the strain of the revolution because through his writings, talks and contemporaries they managed to make the French society of the first half of the century begin to have ideas opposed to the present despotism.

Due to the social discontent inherent in all the problems present in this context, there were people who simply opposed to continue with the audacity and brazenness of the monarchical regime, they were people who not only promoted ideology, but also did something within military praxis to be able to revoke from power those who had a command full of onerous and brazen personality, these were ministers who were initially with King Louis XVI who proposed a change in the financial system in order to improve the economy of the growing country, however the king opposed these statements and immediately urged their resignations.

Due to internal conflicts the king was forced to convene a meeting of the estates general in 1789 (At the time this was only convened in times of crisis, and since the previous convocation to this had passed 144 years).

The general states were basically the representation of the people by states, however this convocation was not only about bringing together the "owners" of the states and proposing ideas for the enhancement of the homeland, but also involved the church, bourgeois and clearly, the present proletariat. This meeting raised the problems of all citizens, and of course, among all they sought a pseudo-democratic solution, in a voting system persuaded by the king, it can be said that people with greater economic or social power had greater voting power than those who did not belong to some lineage or had no impact on society, so the king tried to maintain his despotism through these people with power, however, the working class did not remain silent and with arms folded, they asked for support from some clergy and bourgeois, who joined them to be able to equalize the power of vote, so that even the third class, he managed to get most of the support of the people present in the room, but something that was not taken into account 100% was that the king when threatened would throw out of the palace all those who would be against him. Reason why those alluded to by the forceful situation, saw the need to look for a more remote place to be able to carry out their "legal" procedures in which they would begin to talk about freedom of expression and economic freedom.

This is how the war began to get what seventeenth-century society needed most. Freedom, conciliation and less obfuscated leaders.

After an endless number of treaties and battles for power, which are due to social unrest (among the most noteworthy is the taking of the Bastille, a place that would later be used as a prison and place with which the revolution would begin) All this war ends with the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte, a man who would later try to take control over other countries and defending his homeland as much as possible. to be able to expand, bringing with it in turn an improvement within the economic and the social because he would be the person who would abolish the immense power of the church over the people, would bring to the bourgeois an improvement within the merchant field, since he would not charge them such a high percentage in terms of taxes and this would consequently help the poorest, for the bourgeois could give more and better paid jobs.

Without a doubt it is something that must be studied thoroughly and in a simple blog you would not find all the information about this great historical event, with the passage of time I would like to continue bringing data that although they are small can become interesting about this time, and so on until you finish telling this great part of history.

Thank you so much for reading
