Yes, I realize that Bastille Day was a week ago but are we ever done metaphorically storming the Bastille? Of course not, so here you go. Also I don’t know how I found all these, I didn’t search for them, the internet just delivered them to me.
Without further ado:
The tennis court oath was where the Third Estate swore to do basically whatever it took until a constitution was established.
Louis XVI was the original millennialPigeons.Too relevant to today.
Sans Culottes were the more militant supporters of the French Revolution, especially in the years 1792 to 1795. Sans culottes presented themselves as members of the poorer classes or leaders of the common people, but during the Reign of Terror public functionaries and educated men also adopted the label to demonstrate their patriotism.
The Women’s March on Versailles, also known as The October March, The October Days, or simply The March on Versailles, was one of the earliest and most significant events of the French Revolution. The march began among women in the marketplaces of Paris who, on the morning of 5 October 1789, were near rioting over the high price and scarcity of bread. Their demonstrations quickly became intertwined with the activities of revolutionaries, who were seeking liberal political reforms and a constitutional monarchy for France
