French Revolution

The French Revolution lasted 10 years as the struggle between the poor and the rich. The rich was being taxed almost nothing and the poor was being taxed the most. The poor were even voted against because the Clergy and the Nobles always voted against the third estate. The third estate got so angry, that they revolted and ended up taking a prison called the Bastille. They then took the King Louis XV1 and held him in Paris. He would no longer be away from Paris because he used to live in Versailles. A couple of years later, he was killed by the gulliatine.
