The French Revolution (1789–1799)  reshaped the political, social, and economic landscape of France and beyond.

From the storming of the Bastille to the rise of radical revolutionary ideas, this course will explore the key events that led to the abolition of monarchy, the Declaration of the Rights of Man, and the Reign of Terror under Robespierre.

We’ll examine the forces driving the revolution— war, empires, economic crisis, political corruption, and Enlightenment thought—and how they fuelled the demands for liberty, equality, and fraternity. We will uncover the revolution’s lasting impact, from its role in inspiring future movements to its enduring influence on democratic principles worldwide.

Prepare to step into an era of upheaval, idealism, and revolution!
