The French Revolution all happened when people have heard from the enlightenment thinkers who spread the word of democracy. People though of the Revolutionary war with America and there independence from the British as an inspiration. So the people went against there king Louis XVI. The people were tired of the way they where being treated. I am talking bout the peasants.
They had to pay the upper estates all the money they had. They were tired of it and since they were being treated unfairly. One big step they did was take the Bastille. they were serious about it and they took the king and the queen out of the throne. They killed Louis the XVI with a weapon called guillotine. The weapon chopped of the victims wit a sharp blade.
After that they had there democracy and where treated equally as the other estates and everyone else paid there taxes. The French were free at last and everyone had the same amount of power and can choose there leader. The peasants have done it they have gained there independence.
