The French Revolution was the period between 1789 and 1799 that implied important changes in French politics and society. Indeed, during the Revolution the traditional monarchy that had governed the country for decades was overthrown, this was mainly motivated by the dissatisfaction of citizens as monarchs imposed taxes and other unfair policies to try to maintain the control as well as paid debts with other countries.
Additionally, after monarchy ended the government changed to the one of a Republic; this caused the country to be left in turmoil (disturbance and confusion) because different sectors of society tried to get in the power; besides this, power was held by the Jacobians (political group) who promoted violence against opponents and later by Napoleon. This contributed to the general negative situation of the country as there were social upheavals, politics were changing and France was involved in wars with other countries. Thus, after the French Revolution France was left in turmoil.
