The French Revolution was a 10--year period of events in France from
1789 to 1799 that led to a wide-ranging political and social change.
Not only in France, but also on the entire modern world.. The 19th and
20th centuries have been hugely influenced by the French Revolution

time period, the Seven Years War was fought and it was fought with
