Many events happened during the French Revolution. The French Revolution included several acts of violence, but it also resulted in better equality and rights for the people of France. The National Assembly, March on Versailles and the Execution of Louis XVI were the three most significant events, due to their role in shaping the course of the event.­

The National Assembly granted many citizens the rights that they desired and began to change the way France was governed. This was significant because it changed the whole government system. It took part in shaping the course of the event because it ended serfdom and gave peasants the ability to grow crops for themselves and their families, instead of the king. If this event did not occur, the outcomes of the other events could have possibly been changed.

Women were very frustrated with the pro-longed food crisis, so they felt it was best to take matters into their own hands.They did this by speaking directly to the king in Versailles. This event held an immediate effect on the people of France and others  who were involved. This also had long term effects, due to a large group of men and women that had attacked the palace. The way the women spoke to Louis XVI, managed to play a part in changing the course of the revolution. Those factors are what made this event significant.

The people of France were very upset with the king’s actions, this resulted in King Louis XVI being executed by the guillotine, on January 21st 1793. This was significant because it was the turning point of the Revolution, after Louis was executed, France was made a republic. It also gave the radicals a chance to get the things that they wanted and couldn’t get when Louis was alive. The formation of the republic had a high impact on the people of France because it lead into the Reign of Terror. Louis’ execution created long term effects and without this, the other events might not of happened.

Without the National Assembly, March on Versailles and Louis’ Execution, the revolution might not of happened the way it did, or might of had a different outcome. The French Revolution came with many gains, although there were several deaths, the good outweighed the bad. Without this revolution, we would not have as many freedoms that we have now.
