法國大革命 French Revolution
爆發的原因：君主制度對窮苦人民的壓迫，致使人民決定反抗，以推翻“吃人”的君主制度。
---the French government was deeply in debt. It attempted to restore its financial status through unpopular taxation schemes, which were heavily regressive.
---years of bad harvests worsened by deregulation of the grain industry also inflamed popular resentment of the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy
---Demands for change were formulated in terms of Enlightenment ideals and contributed to the convocation of the Estates General in May 1789.
過程：
---During the first year of the Revolution, members of the Third Estate (commoners) took control, the Bastille was attacked in July, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was passed in August, and the Women's March on Versailles forced the royal court back to Paris in October.
---A central event of the first stage, in August 1789, was the abolition of feudalism and the old rules and privileges
----The next few years featured political struggles between various liberal assemblies and right-wing supporters of the monarchy intent on thwarting major reforms.
---The Republic was proclaimed in September 1792 after the French victory at Valmy.
---- 法國皇帝 路易十六被處死 executed in January 1793.

The Revolution meant an end to arbitrary royal rule and held out the promise of rule by law under a constitutional order, but it did not rule out a monarch. Napoleon as emperor set up a constitutional system (although he remained in full control), and the restored Bourbons were forced to go along with one. After the abdication of Napoleon III in 1871, the monarchists probably had a voting majority, but they were so factionalised they could not agree on who should be king, and instead the French Third Republic was launched with a deep commitment to upholding the ideals of the Revolution
