Answer:
The French Revolution, which occurred from 1789 to 1799, was a time in French history when republicans overthrew the monarchy and the Roman Catholic Church went through a period of fundamental restructuring in France. While France swapped back and forth between republic, empire and kingship for 75 years following the fall of the First Republic into the hands of Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolution nevertheless marked the end of the ancient regime and put its followers in the shadows of the imagination of the French people.
The French Revolution began as a protest by the aristocrats against Louis XVI, the king of France and his absolute monarchy, and evolved as a major revolution that changed Europe's history and outlook.
A group called the Girondins, from the Bordeaux area, came to power but was opposed by the Jacobins group. The Jacobins were replaced by the Directoire, a middle-class group that had merged with the Girondins, and a new moderate government was formed. They came to power in 1794 but by 1799 they were considered corrupt and Napoleon took over. Napoleon came to the power with the support of the army and ruled as a tyrant. It was the need for stability and the disposition of the corrupt revolution that made the people willing to accept Napoleon even though he was a dictator. Napoleon brought a new order but many old institutions were also re-established.
