Unlikely that there is a mention of the phenomenon of revolution and the study of the history of the world’s classical revolutions, and that there is no mention of France and its great revolution. The revolution was the result of the growing dissatisfaction of the people with the corruption of the French court and its aristocracy with the rise of the bourgeoisie and their attempt to seize their share of power, which took place in 1789 and created the French Revolution. A revolution that ended the centuries-old domination of the Bourbons in France and completely changed the traditional structure of power in France. The roots and context of the revolution, the powers and the beneficiaries of the revolution, related events, the defeat of the revolution and the return of the monarchy, the protests and the second revolution, and many others are topics that will be studied and analyzed as much as possible.
