Remembrance of the French Revolution

After learning about the French Revolution, it can be seen just how much change can take place in a relatively short amount of time and with such little cause. The Revolution was brought about mainly by the Third Estate in France. They were unhappy with their positions in French society. Their uprising caused the revolution to flare out across France. Their unrest caused the king to be taken out of power, and the French government changed drastically. Even though most of the things instituted during the Revolution did not remain in place, the French Revolution was a very important time in history.
