THE IMPACT OF FRANCEA Brief Overview of the French Revolution
The French Revolution started in 1789 and lasted for almost 10 years.
King Louis, a member of the Bourbon family, was ruling France during this time.
France had assisted the United States in gaining independence from Great Britain,
which drained their resources and shattered their economy.
King Louis imposed additional taxes on the general public to sustain the economy.
There were three classes in French society: clergymen, noble people, and ordinary
people.
The social division and economic crisis led to population growth and inflation.
A new class, the middle class, emerged and advocated for equality, liberty, and
fraternity.

The revolution allowed poets and people of this era to explore new psychological and

by the French Revolution. He believed in the power of nature and the importance of
