French Revolution

Did you know that King Louis had so thick neck that they had to use twice to kill him??

Because French helped American revolution and eventually that war cost a lot of money, poor peasants were forced to pay high taxes they could not afford. Also, except for tax, there were other reasons that the French peasants got angry at. For example, Madame Tallien, the friend of the King, bathed in crushed strawberries while peasants were finding food. I Versailles palace, while peasants were searching for single well of water, and lived together in  tiny cottages, it had 1000fountain with 100miles of pipe and was 580meters wide. As it is easy to expect, the French peasants revolted to the nobles. The first and the most significant event was the storming of Bastille. In the Bastille prison, there were many political prisoners who opposed to the king. In the midnight the mobs, attacked the Bastille prison. In 1791, the French king Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette was caught while running away and had to accept new French flag ( Monarch in between Paris). I think the king should thank the revolutionist because if I caught him, I would've killed him at once. (Even though he is killed a few months after)

In this revolution, there was a new tool called guillotine which was a device used to execute people. The guillotine was used in French revolution because revolutionists believed that the best way to revenge or keep down old enemy is to kill them.
