[|kaoutarelhaloui] The French Revolution began because the absolute monarchy that ruled france collasped (Louis XVI) because of financial problems. The top classes didnt have to pay taxes and the pesants did, so they revolted. [|kaoutarelhaloui] I think you guys did a great job on the summary because that was pretty much the only reason the french revolution started, the poor were tired of the way they were being treated and were so hungry that they had no other choice.

 * __Storming of the bastille 9/23/10:__**

Before reading the story of the Storming of the Bastille i thought it was just an act of violence, for no important reason, but after reading it I discovered it was more of a revolution, the people fighting against the absolute power of Luois XVI. The main difference is that they had a reason to fight, they werent just crazy people fighting for their own enjoyment.
