This revolution meant the victory of a people (the bourgeoisie) oppressed and tired of the injustices, on the privileges
of the feudal nobility and of the absolutist state. During the reign of Luis XIV (1643-1715) France was under the mastery of an absolutist monarchy, the power of king and of the nobility was the base of this diet, but in fact the state was in a quite precarious economic situation, which worsened for the bad government of Luis XV (great-grandson of Luis XIV), and which touched fund during the reign of Luis XVI, well deliberate leader, but of weak character, by what good Luis was calling it himself. The bourgeoisie wanted to gain access to public positions. The peasants were tired of the feudal power. The monarchy practically ruined economically and without the support of big part of the nobility, it was in the ruin. When they met in the General States (1789), the situation of France was extremely awkward, since the people was not supporting any more so painful life, and a big social dissatisfaction existed. The existing social classes in this moment were: the nobility, the clergy and the bourgeoisie, but after there count the votes of the nobility and of the clergy, which belonged to a privileged class, they were overcoming in number to the bourgeoisie, and therefore the decisions were always taken that sector was convenient for this one. The National Assembly was formed by the bourgeoisie, that initially to fight against the monarchy, did it in unified form, but in fact the bourgeoisie was not a homogeneous social class, but it was divided in the gentry – bankers, financiers, merchants, owners - and in the low bourgeoisie formed by the professionals (lawyers and doctors), children merchants and proprietors of workshops. When there came the moment to decide for the form of government, the gentry supported the girondinos native to the province of The Gironda, which wanted to come to an agreement with the monarchy and restore a constitutional monarchy, that is to say, it had a moderating attitude with regard to the political changes. The above mentioned name comes from that were meeting in assemblies, called clubs, in a convent located on the street San Jacobo. The national assembly was displaced and a new body of representatives assembled in a Convention, it began to direct the new republican government led by the low bourgeoisie, dependent on the Jacobin party. The change of major importance is that now the representatives could be chosen by means of the universal suffrage, allowing a major participation of humble and popular sectors, called sans culottes (without pants).From 1792 the Jacobins achieved the control of the Convention, and his principal activists were: Dantón, Robespierre, Marat and Saint Just. Knowing the weakness of this government, the gentry making use of the situation, and anxious to end with the "excesses of the plebs" in July, 1794, they produced a coup d''état, displacing the republic and creating a Directory, which to achieve his authority they rested in the military men. The Directory, it eliminated the political freedom of voting for the humblest, the prices control was eliminated and there were taken measures that favored the merchants and speculators. Between the military men who were supporting to the Directory, there was Napoleón Bonaparte, which was not late in be doing of the power, by means of a military coup, making use of the big prestige that had been gained in the diverse military victories in other countries. In turn these were supporting it, because they were avoiding the return of the Jacobin republic and of the ancient aristocratic diet. Between the consequences of the French Revolution, the feudal system was destroyed, a strong blow happened to the absolute monarchy; there arose the creation of a Republic of liberal court, there spread the declaration of the Rights of the man and the Citizens; the separation of the Church and of the State in 1794 was a precedent to separate the religion of the politics in other parts of the world: the bourgeoisie extended increasingly his influence in Europe, democratic ideas spread, the rights of the feudal gentlemen were annulled, ideas of independence began to arise in the Latin-American colonies, and the nationalistic movements were encouraged The National Assembly was formed by the bourgeoisie, that initially to fight against the monarchy, did it in unified form, but in fact the bourgeoisie was not a homogeneous social class, but it was divided in the gentry – bankers, financiers, merchants, owners - and in the low bourgeoisie formed by the professionals (lawyers and doctors), children merchants and proprietors of workshops.
