Radical Shifts: The Overthrow of Power during the French Revolution (3 in 1)

This book combo explores the dramatic Storming of the Bastille, a powerful symbol of the oppressive monarchy, where revolutionaries took up arms in a bold act of defiance against royal authority. This event, widely considered the beginning of the revolution, sparked widespread civil unrest and the rise of revolutionary fervor across France.

The narrative continues with the Fall of the Monarchy, a seismic shift that ended centuries of royal rule and led to the execution of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. This momentous event not only marked the end of the French monarchy but also set the stage for the rise of radical political forces and the reshaping of French society. The final section covers the Women's March on Versailles, an event in which thousands of women, driven by hunger and frustration, marched to the royal palace, demanding food and accountability from the king. This march played a critical role in undermining the monarchy and bringing the Revolution to the heart of the French government.

Together, these events demonstrate how grassroots movements and bold actions by ordinary people, driven by a desire for justice and equality, led to one of history's most dramatic power shifts. Radical Shifts highlights the courage, sacrifice, and resolve of those who fought for a radically new France, laying the foundation for modern democracy and equality.
