The French Revolution can be divided into four main phases:
-
The National Assembly (1789-1791) - This phase began with the Estates-General and led to the formation of the National Assembly, culminating in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
-
The Radical Phase (1792-1794) - Marked by the rise of the Jacobins and the Reign of Terror, this phase saw the execution of King Louis XVI and widespread violence against perceived enemies of the revolution.
-
The Directory (1795-1799) - Characterized by a more moderate government, this phase struggled with political instability, corruption, and economic challenges.
-
The Rise of Napoleon (1799) - The revolution effectively ended with Napoleon’s coup d'état, leading to his establishment of a consulate and later the French Empire.
