Answer:
The Réveillon riots occurred between 26–29 April 1789[1] centered in the St. Antoine district of Paris where a factory which produced luxury wallpaper was owned by Jean-Baptiste Réveillon. The factory employed around 300 people. The riots were one of the first instances of violence during the French Revolution. The factory where the riot took place was unusual in pre-revolutionary France as the factory was guild-free in an era where guilds controlled quality standards.
Protests began after rumors spread that the owner had made a speech stating that workers, many of whom were highly skilled, were to be paid lower wages and, as a result, there would be lower prices. Workers were concerned with food shortages, high unemployment, and low wages after a difficult winter in 1789. However, Réveillon was known for his benevolence towards the poor and actually stated that bread prices should be brought down to those that people could afford (below 15 sous a day) but his comments were misinterpreted as wage restrictions. He made the comments on 21 April when the assembly of the Saint-Marguerite was discussing its Cahier which all Estates drew up before the Estates-General was to be called.
After informal protests on Sunday 26 April, groups of protesters congregated on the Ile de la Cité and in the Faubourg Saint-Marcel, Marais, and Faubourg Saint-Antoine the next day for a series of protest-marches. Though the first three marches - one of which targeted the Third Estate's Assembly of Electors - were resolved peacefully, confrontations between troops and participants in the fourth demonstration led to the outbreak of violence in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine that evening.
While the protesters did not manage to destroy the factory as it was being guarded by a group of around fifty troops, a factory owned by the saltpetre manufacturer Henriot was destroyed after he made similar comments.However Réveillon’s factory was destroyed a day later as was his home The riot killed 25 people and wounded around the same number although rumour caused the casualty figures to be exaggerated. The French Guard were used to restore order.

Compared with the American War of Independence, where nothing similar was experienced, the loss of life and the material destruction of the conflict during Spanish-American independence was extremely greater.
Indeed, it was not only a war for independence (as in the case of the United States), but there were circumstances that added to the fierceness of the struggle, including the enormous territorial extension of the war, which included the almost all of Latin America, the politics of terror practiced by both sides, the alternation of victories and defeats between the supporters of independence and those loyal to royal authority (called patriots and royalists, respectively), the exile and displacement of populations and the prolongation in time of the struggle that produced a complete ruin in many of the cities and fields of Spanish America, the loss of capital and goods of all kinds after the paralysis of trade and productive activities, and the dedication of material resources and humans to the war effort. All this in the context of a war that quadrupled the duration of the American
