French
Revolution:
1789: A false "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity", the same motto of the Free-Masonry. Indeed the French Revolution
was the guillotine of "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity". There was no Freedom but the tyranny and terrorism of the masses,
instead of Equality there was a brutal political, social and religious
prejudice, and the Fraternity was marked by thousands of massacres and the Reign
of Terror. Only God can provide "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity" through Jesus Christ.
The French Revolution history, start from Louis XVI's marriage to Austria
Princess Marie Antoinette, through the turmoiling 10 years of revolution, The
Reign of Terror, (1789-1799), till Napoleon Bonaparte ruled France in 1799.
The Fall of Bastille indicated the
start of the French Revolution, the new era for French. The date has become the
national holiday of France, July 14, 1789. The period of the French Revolution in the
history of France covers the years between
1789 and
1799, in which
democrats
and
republicans overthrew the
absolute monarchy and the
Roman Catholic Church perforce underwent radical restructuring. While
France would
oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the
First Republic fell to a coup by
Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolution nonetheless spelled a definitive end to
the
ancien régime,
and eclipses all subsequent. The Reign of Terror resulted in the death of over
250,000 during a nine-month period; eventually it spun beyond the control of its
leaders, and Robespierre himself was executed by the very system of justice and
terror he had implemented in his effort to save the revolution.
The Declaration of the rights of Men was established, some of
it used today. The Civil Constitution of the Clergy. Catholicism ceased to be
the Religion of the State.
Before 1789:
There was the Royal and Louis XVI era, deposed and
executed by the Revolution, with his wife, Queen
Marie Antoinette, the face of the
Revolution, beheaded in October of 1793. Charlotte Corday, the other face of the
Revolution, killed Jean-Paul Marat in 1973. She stabbed him with a knife she had bought for
"two sols."
October 16: 1793
After 1799: The final phase the French Revolution ends with a coup d'etat by
Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799; France returns to dictatorial rule.
Napoleon took charge with the New France
crowning himself Emperor in 1804. When he lost his final battle at Waterloo in
Belgium in 1815, the victors sent him to the faraway island of Saint Helena,
where he died in 1821. The eagle, his preferred symbol, had taken its last
flight.
